Thank the safety Nazi's in Washington for that one too! Chrome was
banished from dashboards and interiors because it could blind you if the sun
was low! These are the same folks that made toggle switches disappear,
there by saving you from certain death.
Datsun, rather than making a separate part for the US market, just painted
the chrome around the windshield, wing windows and gauge rings.
