bird72, it was the same way in '72. You can find them painted both body-color and argent. A lot of the '72 and '73 cars had their broken plastic valances replaced by the metal version. The plastic fillers for the metal relpacement valances were painted argent from the factory and often left that color when the conversion was done. I suppose it was up to the the service department as to whether or not they would paint the fillers body-color when they painted the replacement valance.
