Re: Radio bezel and glove box door finish
From the Dev's Technical network site
1952 Exterior door handles are now push button type. Speedometer changed from a max of 80 mph to 90 mph. Half way through the year, GM stopped using 3100, 3600, 3800 emblems on side of hood whereas CHEVROLET kept them all year. No rear bumper offered. Horizontal strips below and above radio speaker grille plus glove box door changes to painted steel and not stainless steel as in previous years. Hubcaps change from chrome to gray painted steel with black block letters, but stamping and shape remain the same as prior years. Bumpers are no longer chrome, but gray painted steel.
Pre 52 = stainless strips above and below the speaker grill / 52 and 53 painted. I have no clue as to exactly what color the speaker grill and face of the ash tray were originally either a satin silver or a gray.
