Re: Restoration Detail - Copper Plated Stuff??

Rick,
In the early '60s (my era) they were called static collectors and were installed on all cars with a factory radio. (along with the appropriate ground straps and capacitors.)

I believe the copper plating of some nuts and bolts was just the suppliers way of meeting the rust proofing spec from Chevys engineers.
