1951 Chrome Steering Column?

Posted by gone1951 On 2009/12/19 15:44:43

I was under the impression that all senior cars, 51 through 54, had chrome steering columns. Thought only the junior models had painted columns. Ran across an ebay listing for a 51 300 that had a painted column. The car was not restored and looked like it had sat for years out doors. I don't think, judging by the rest of the car, that the column was either changed with the wrong one or that someone had painted it.

Any comments??
