Bolt plating

I tried looking through the Fourm and could not find anything on re-plating rusty nuts and bolts. I am restoring my 1938 8 cyl, model 1601 Packard and was wondering what rust protection (plating) should I use to re-plate the nut and bolts? Zinc, zinc nickel , use a chromate? What was used back in 1938?

To restore the car to as original as possible, what rust protection can I use and not get dinged if I ever have the car judged at a show?
