Non-A/C 1972 Cutlass Center Vent

Hello!

So the interior of my 1972 Cutlass Supreme is fully restored. It is a non-AC car, and the only item that no one reproduces anymore is the dash center vent cover (for non-AC cars), and mine looks very worn out. It looks worse than this one:




My question:

1) Does anyone out there make these? OEM style or not?

2) Does anyone make gauge pods that fit in this location?

Thanks all!

I must be out of luck

Hopefully there's some paint that is like a fake-chrome I can use to re-paint the trim or something.

You can use a broad tip silver sharpie on the ridges it's not chrome but it is very similar to the 40 yo worn out chrome.

You could also burnish the ridges w bare metal foil it's more like chrome.
