   Thanks for the data point!  So far I've got:
CT 217 L - Chrome
CT 288 L - Chrome
CT 1050 L - Chrome
CT 1272 L - Chrome
CT 1798 L - Chrome
CT 2966 - Chrome
CT 3154 LO - Chrome
CT 4852 L - Aluminum
CT 5027 L - Aluminum
CT 5521 LO - Chrome
CT 6057 L - Aluminum
CT 10077 L - Aluminum
CT 11880 L - Aluminum

...which does make your car the latest chromie.  I know you've speculated in 
the past that yours is unusual in other respects... a possible CKD kit... so, 
maybe that is part of the explanation?

   Beyond that, I'm hearing from other people that the chrome on some cars is 
magnetic, and on others not magnetic, wich means that question is still up in 
the air.  Maybe there are brass AND steel versions.
   Need more data!  =)

   And by the way, I'm still collecting "Body-In-White" numbers, in case anyone 
happens to have their left rear wheel off and is willing to scrape off a bit of 
paint and contribute to that dataset:

CT 133 - ZS 010166
CT 1798 L - ZS 17010
CT 2846 L - ZS 012911
CT 5521 LO - ZS 16435
CT 12038 O - ZS 21959
CT 15093 L - ZS 25136
CT 22326 L - ZS 44767
CT 25830 L - ZS 35743
CT 38746 L - ZS 48829

   Cheers!

'62-ish TR4
