Was the metal frame around the rear window in a convertible top of a '37 120 four door plated with nickel or chrome?

I believe chrome on the outside. Not sure about the inside frame finish.

I remember years ago a long decertation in Old Cars Weekly newspaper about pre-war cars being nickel plated, while chrome became popular after the war. I believe it is a matter of plating. I have been told triple plating is copper/nickel/chrome so the top layer of chrome is a clear preservative. It does look different than nickel too, the nickel has a more silver metallic look. On my car I have not re-plated the side hood vents, window frame nor grill and you can see that the nickel is a tone different than the chrome on the other trim that had to be done. I chose chrome over nickel for the new plating as it is a tougher longer lasting finish (in my opinion mind you).

The original plating on my '37 120 appears to be some kind of nickle on many items. The bumpers appear to be chrome. The nickle, or nickle-like finish is definitely not the mid-1950s type chrome plating. It looks different and it ages differently.

Door handles, hubcaps, the hood center molding, and the grill slats look like a kind of nickle plate. These pieces seem to acquire a greenish tarnish and the plating appears to be thin.The bumpers appear to be "modern" chrome and the finish is brighter, thicker, and more durable.

Thanks for the response.
I have since determined that the original plating was nickel. I am having the two pieces re-plated with chrome (copper/nickel/chrome) - more durable. The cost ($450) is high but I have a lot of pitting which runs up the bill. Shallow pits can be decontaminated and the first copper coat will fill but the deep pits require more work - solder/weld fill the pot metal then file down. The copper will blister over time if you try to fill the deep pits.
