This topic came up during one of my discussions with Dale. Although he left the dealership in late Dec 68, he did recall a chrome version style frame. It appeared in late 69 or the early part of 70 at DANA Chevrolet not at the Hi-Performance Center as it was already dissolved. Could not say for sure if all vehicles received this frame or if it was promotional. This plate has the Robert W. Brown insignia stamped on the back and has the casting flaws and inclusions as the earlier frames. There has been some discussion about a reproduction frame some time ago. I believe that particular frame is chrome as well but is noticeably different in appearance. I was contacted by an individual awhile back who owns such a frame. I will look for the contact information and see if I can get a picture.
