I find it ironic that especially the early 914/4s had painted bumpers, but 914s in general have had very limited chrome unlike most other cars from the 70's from day one. Style points to my eyes. Not that I dont appreciate the look or durability of chrome....but it has been disppearing on cars since its heyday in the 60's and 914s were in the avant garde in this trend.
PS If you didnt already know most of the bright trim on our cars is not chrome but clear anodized polished aluminum. |
