I personally deplore the practice of painting over radiator shells that were originally chrome plated.

Oops, I split an infinitive.

What I always wonder is how much damage was done to the poor thing with body shop grinders. Like handmade woodwork in old colonial homes once it is molested it's finished forever.

When I mentioned the practice to someone who owns Chryslers he exclaimed: "Why would anybody do something like that? The chrome radiator shell is the whole front of a Packard. It screams Packard!"
