Good afternoon sir, My wife owns a '26 Buick Model 26-27. I sure would like to help you find a solution to your problem, but I think she might notice that they were missing! Seriously though, I'll certainly keep my eyes and ears open for anything I might come across. Would you care to share the city and/or state where this chrome plater is located (no exact names, please)? I had a near-disasterous similar situation occur with the resto and re-chromeing of my original '66 Corvette bumpers, and I'd rather not repeat the experience.
