Default 1975 Firebird Saudi Car

Hi, just got in a 75 espirt for parting out and a mate said it looks like a saudi car because
of all chrome its got, my question is i have never seen a f-body with chrome rear light bezels, door mirrors, fender braces, interior pieces, etc. i'll get some pics later. my question is was it a factory thing with the chrome? does have on the cowl tag SAD..

Someone other than the factory chrome those parts. SAD = saddle paint used on interior.

No, it saddle paint for things like the dash metal and the rear window metal strip.

That's true, I wasn't thinking of the metal areas.
Thinking more of the plastic/vinyl stuff.

Yes they used paint also.
