Hood chrome strip
 

On a 1955 Pontiac what color goes between the ribs on the hood chrome strip?. I have seen body color, black and white. Thanks

I might be wrong on this (probably am??) but I seem to recollect that the paint colour was the same colour as the interior trim.

There were exceptions such as if it was a green car with a green interior, then it had black or white paint in the hood strip. But for example a black car with a red interior it had a red painted strip.

I'm basing this on what a friend of mine was telling me back 30 years ago when he had a 55 or 56. Can't remember correctly what year it was.:(

Thanks. My interior is gray so that works for me.

Every "original" one I've ever seen, including the 1 NOS one I had years ago, was semi-gloss black in between. Some people would remove the black for that "solid chrome" look.

Looks like black it is then. Thanks

Agree, black in '55. In 56, both black and hood color were used.

my 55 hood is body color in between
