Greg, I have assumed that a badge that is just all chrome now was once
painted and the paint has flaked off over the years. The originals might
also have been cloisonni (note: the list server seems to change the
accented "e" on the end of this word to "i"), but I would guess that someone
would have to intentionally remove all traces of the cloisonni, unlike paint
which could easily flake off on its own.

Were any of the badges just chromed? Mine, which I believe to be original,
had no traces of paint. Car # 38555
