Bhigdog Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 If you mean the frame that holds the glass it is plated steel. If you mean the frame that holds the frame that holds the glass it's plated pot metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks for clarifying my question with your comprenensive answer bhigdog. Reason I axed is that i have a 55 4 door hard top and I 'think' the outer frame of that vent window is stainless, and was just wondering why the difference. Thanks for your prompt answer.

progoofoff Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 4 Dr HT are for sure SS. 2 Dr HT are pot metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thanks progoofoff, any speculation as to why the difference. Just wondering. Speaking of stainless, got the sweep spear pieces packed. Now to get them to the post office. That will probably take another 2 weeks. LOL... Has the car arrived yet?

progoofoff Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don`t know why they are different.I`ve seen the SS moulding placed over the pitted pot metal frame with pretty good results.Here`s a question for you....why is the `55 more attractive than the `54?

MrEarl Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don`t know why they are different.I`ve seen the SS moulding placed over the pitted pot metal frame with pretty good results.Here`s a question for you....why is the `55 more attractive than the `54?I'll limit my response to a simple "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", hence Buicks 1954 slogan... "The Beautiful Buy" ....and what was 55's? "Thriller of the Year" or something like that.Will say this though, 55's dash is just as pretty as 54's. They just forgot to drill the hole half way across the dash and insert the cigar lighter like in 54, so they screwed it onto the bottom, close to the driver right knee. Making for an interesting situation when ever the lady passenger needed a light. Why am I already regretting having tried to answer the posed question? Can a moderator please go ahead and lock this thread. :D Get me outa hear Percy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making for an interesting situation when ever the lady passenger needed a light. The lighter mentioned above was a nice design for any other car. When I had my '64 Chevelle, I added one of those '55 lighters on each side of the rear panel above the rear armrest in a vertical position. That's back when people like myself smoked. They worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
