Title: Any dechromed Ovals out there?
Post by: jamiep_jamiep on January 17, 2008, 10:01:49 am
Just wondering whether to take the chrome trim off my black Oval,

anyone got any pics to help me decide? Or dechromed black cars?

not entirely cal-look. but this is the 55 oval of the guy that did the bodywork of my 67 last season.
he told me it's a 1200A or something and came without moldings.

i think it looks pretty cool.
and believe you me, i decided not to dechrome my 67 and geesh i can't even tell you how much i regret my decision now!
so, do it! do it!

A the risk of taking this off topic... what color is this car?

On my work system, it looks almost the color of Schwimmer's car... maybe a little more red but on my laptop at home, it's much more red.

I shouldn't speak for Frenchy, but I think I remember it being Sealing Wax Red?

Those and the green standard ragtop on Raders at the top of this thread are perfect. That's the look I want for my '51.
