No, plated acorn-style cylinder head nuts were not standard equipment on that vehicle.

Pretty car, very attractive engine compartment. Just a few observations if you're interested.

-I believe the steering column should be painted, not plated.
-Bijur jar cover should be painted black.
-Oil filler cap should be nickel, not chrome, ditto oil filter lines and all bright plated underhood trim.
-Spark plug terminals should be eyelets and thumbscrews.
-Inner tube valve stems should be metal with nickel covers.
-Fuel pump castings should be painted black.
-Decal on the L-6 filter is normally seen on the upper half. There is often a 2nd decal to record the mileage at installation.

Best get some oil in that Bijur before you begin putting miles on the car.
