Trying to find arm rests for a 63 Super 88 4 door.I thought I saw a company on the web selling reproductions.Has anybody had any luck getting theirs plated?

My parts books show that 1963-64 88 4 doors use the same armrest base as 63-67 Cutlasses. Fusick only lists them for two doors, but try one of the Pontiac vendors like Ames and see what they have. Some Impalas used the same chrome plastic base too and if they're made, the Chevy vendors will have them.

If the plastic is in good shape it should rechrome OK. If it's dry-rotted or cracked, you'll need better ones. Several companies advertise plastic chrome plating services in Hemmings. These parts were originally vacuum plated which is why the "chrome" tends to wear off after years of use. Most companies now plate the plastic similar to chroming metal parts.

Or did the S88 have metal ones like Starfires and Ninety Eights?
