1968 GTO A/C Vents
Hi everyone. I have a quick question regarding the a/c vents in a 1968 GTO. I am specifically talking about the three vents that are somewhat similar in appearance (wide and round). One is located at the very center of the dash pad. This vent came in a plastic chrome finish from the factory.
The other two vents are shaped similar to the above-mentioned dash pad vent and are located in the lower dash area, or more specifically, the "lap cooler". My question is: As mentioned above, I know that the top center vent came finished in plastic chrome. Were the other two vents plastic chrome as well? I am looking to rechrome my center vent, and want to know if I should send the other two vents as well. As they are now, they look like someone might have painted them gray. But of course, this could be the original finish. Thanks! |

I believe all three were chrome finish.

Thanks!
Thanks folks! I will get my three originals re-chromed. I use Vacuum Orna-Metal in Romulus, Michigan. They seem like real good folks.

I wonder if the vapor deposit aluminum they use holds up as well as the original chrome. I've seen that original chrome so thick on plastic that it will cut your finger when it starts to flake off.

Here are the pictures anyway. I didn't know the chrome deflector comes out as a unit with two screws after you drop down the duct.
