Were these handles originally all chrome or was there a brushed finish on the top part? I'm getting conflicting info online and all the repop handles are all chrome. Is that correct?

RandyS

Yes, all chrome.

This is the reason I ask..

RandyS

Hmm, interesting. I owned an almost new 66 442 back in 1968, and the handles were shiny chrome, not brushed.

Ginger442

Hmmm well I appreciate the info.

Curious. The parts book shows the number on the box as applying to all 60-67 Oldsmobiles with paddle-type handles except Toros. I just checked both my 64 VC and 64 J88 and both have the all-chrome paddles. Could this be a Toro paddle in the wrong box?

Some of the upscale GM cars had the brushed accents as I recall.
