I'm trying to identify which models these came from. One has silver trim and the other has black trim instead of the chrome you usually see. Both appear original and not painted afterwards. silver trim silver trim close-up black trim close up right close-up right
The first one has been painted a silver/aluminum color. Those areas were originally a "chrome" finish (vacuum metallized "chrome").
The second one looks like it's all been painted over in black OR the chrome was removed.
The horizontal "overhang" part at the top of each bezel and the innermost "rings" on each gauge opening were painted black (over the chrome finish) from the factory.
Both have the 1970 style burled woodgrain in them so that's what they probably came from....'70 Cutlass or 442.
