However in "online old chevy manuals" the accessories catalog pictures seem to portray it as colored with chrome highlighting.Does anyone know how it looked. Thanks ColinGrant

The face plate was chromed and then the recessed areas were painted the color of the top of the dash, etc.The area behind the chevrolet name was painted and around the push buttons and dial andbelow the speaker basically Gene Schneider
