Dads 56, I think that is the best course of action. The OEM Packard license plate frame looks very similar to a frame I purchased a few years ago in a Pep Boys auto parts store for my vintage Chrysler. It came with a clear plastic cover, but if these are illegal in your area, you can just opt not to use it. It is a nice frame as it is chrome plated die cast, like the period originals, and not cheap plastic. I think I paid about $15 for it. As your frame is die cast and appears to be rather heavily pitted, re-chroming may not be a viable option. It is very difficult and expensive to re-chrome die cast and the results often aren't very good unless you have a perfect core. Any pitting on the existing core would stand out on the finished product. So you could spend a fairly significant amount of money and have an unsatisfactory result with your part.
