Each line in the body of text in your attempt is centered, but the body of text in the first image (applied to an arm) appears be left-justified. Also, the last line in the first image looks like it has a space forced before the word "AND". Or is the third image of an original.

The late Randy Berger once told me that the dull silver was some sort of plating, applied after the chrome. He had the grille for his Four Hundred and, later, Caribbean done that way.
Metal finishing details would likely be noted on a factory engineering drawing or blueprint.

Remove the wheel cover, and look for a pair of "teeth" flanking the hole for the valve stem. These "teeth" are intended to engage a corresponding pair of "divots" in the OE rim. Together these help keep the cover from walking around the rim.
Make sure these "teeth" aren't flattened. Make sure you have an OE rim.

Hard to believe that car was once a back alley cast off.

I am confused. OP sez Lincoln, but then Hydramatic (which is GM) comes up. Now I'm seeing "mopar". Someone needs to crawl under the car and verify what's actually in there.
Switching pushbutton positions and related wiring is not impossible with OE Twin Ultramatic, but adapting it to the other brands would require a lot more work. Meanwhile, shouldn't take more than a few minutes to pull plugs, squirt a good amount of ATF in each cylinder, then let it soak and see if it'll turn over. A good spark plug socket will have a hex on the drive end for a wrench (typcially to get behind generator.)

Lotta discussion on this years ago, and I tried to summarize the salient points in the following FAQ post:
SUSPENSION & STEERING: Torsion-Level Compensator Grease Some of the links to external sites are broken because the supplier kept revising the website. I fixed them a couple of times, but can no longer edit the post.

Amen, brother!
I've been saying this all along. Electric cars had their time in the sun, but ultimately failed for many of the same objections we see today. Hydrogen-powered cars make much better sense - except there might not be as much money to be made.

Absolutely gorgeous. Looks like something that could have rolled off the factory assembly line.
