The mouldings are painted, BUT there is a stainless moulding available ( one piece) if you choose not to use the hood ornament. Back in the 50's, this one piece moulding was known as a "bullnose moulding" ...gave the hood a sleek, custom look.

I want one for my 51 hood.

Is this a pick-up or a car? My '49 pickup is a deluxe and has both the center strip and the hood ornament. I only found an aluminum center strip available in polished or a steel one to be painted.
No matter where you go, there you are!
