Chrome Accessories: Shine on Me!
It is no surprise that the USA experienced a Baby Boom. It paralleled a growing economy and a desire to live the good life after years of worry and tight wallets.
A robust car industry got to ride the strong economy. Like a tidal wave, car manufacturing ramped up to meet the demands of post-war consumers and a broadening middle class. As the number of new drivers increased, competition for their business picked up. Technology and style teamed together to satisfy the demand for new designs – a sign of new tastes and the consumer’s call for status.
Chrome, chrome and more chrome wrapped the cars of the 1950s. Chrome showed up in grills that the blind could see coming, bold tail-fins as well as chrome center caps and hubs, consumers couldn’t seem to get enough of the sun-reflecting metal. The more, the better.
Today’s car accessory enthusiasts are drawn to the lustrous metal with the same intensity. And who can blame them? Chrome resists corrosion, is able to be tinted and gosh darn it, is just visually appealing – not unlike icicles, glitter or diamonds… but manly.
Everything from tailpipes to roll-bars to running boards can be electroplated with unalloyed chromium. Aftermarket rims and wheel center caps are common ways to step up the looks of your car, too.
This chrome plating can be applied at various thicknesses, so check out the specifications to determine the potential wear resistance of your accessory when making a purchase. If you can’t find it, ask the sale rep. Better yet, ask the manufacturer. You should always research before you part with your hard earned cash. No one wants to experience “rim remorse” – especially after spending a week or two of paychecks.
Enlist the help of the web, you can look up parts by Hollander number or the parts number (SKU) issued by the manufacturer. You also can avail yourself of locator services to find the chrome grill, chrome tail pipes, center caps for rims of chrome or any other chrome accessory that can take your car from stock to stoked!
