A Y.M.C.A. in Cario? Strictly for ex-pats? Still, an interesting photo and caption. Thanks for sharing.

Here is another period picture of plated spokes, which make the unlisted option more authentic than painted radiator shells on 32-34 eight cylinder cars for which I am still searching for one single verifiable period picture. I have two pictures from the late forties - Gordon Webber's 32 and an individual Custom 8 - but both may have been due to paint jobs.
Not my favorite, too ghetto, but period correct.

He's using that term to describe the bullet-resistant glass.

The armored glass is as thick as glass bricks.
