Title: 1952 Cadillac "gold-work"
Post by: Michael Carson on March 03, 2005, 06:10:07 PM
I need to have some trim replated on my 52 6219 Sedan. I know the hood and trunk V is gold. Are the crests above the V gold-framed also? Any other items that should be re-golded rather than re-chromed?
Thanks,
Mike Carson

Mike,

The metal frame that forms the crest as well as the emblems on the sides of the grille below the headlights all also gold plated.
HTH,
Ralph

I looked at a 52 to buy and the guy had brand new emblems in gold. I know you can still buy them im trying to find out where for you,i know they cost $900.00 for all of them.He got them out of a catalog for cadillacs.
