Yes, and the first time some DPO left his gas cap at the gas station, the only
replacement you could get was a Kingsborne stainless steel cap.

Not to start this debate again but just information. Chrome gas caps were
dealer options in 1960, at least in San Diego. All the cars on the show room
floors had painted gas caps, I use to spend a lot of time in the show room.
We have never resolved the concave grill although a lot of new local cars were
delivered this way. Did have one dealer claim that the dealers did this in
our area to "improve" cooling. Not defending this just passing it along.
