51 Dash Trim

I am looking for ashtray and glove box trim for my 51 (5 Star Extra). It appears all that I can find is chrome plated parts.

The original piece I have is the speaker trim, it is stainless. I can not seem to find any information on this.

Was the trim on the 51 stainless or plated pot metal?

The curved speaker grille piece is stainless, the ash tray and glove box pieces are plated pot metal. The pot metal pieces are hard to find in good original condition, I had mine re chromed.

Thanks Guys,

It just seemed a little odd to me they would be different, but I am sure there was a production reason.

Thanks Again...
