a good chrome plater will make them look like new, probably better than new. Chrome is stripped, pits are filled, triple chrome process. Expensive yes, but at least they are not '59 Cadillac (Caddy, ha,ha) bumpers.

We know exactly what this means and do not want "better than new". These are production line common cars. Not works of art. Really comes down to what you want. We want them as close as possible to how they were when picked up by the original buyer new. |

They are very nice survivors and better than most, especially, in the salt states.
Value really depends on if they are originally from a Malibu or an SS. Nearly every part I see for sale from the 60's-early 70's seems to have come from an SS and commands staggering amounts of funds.

Not different on 69 Malibu or SS taillight bezel
Same part. You may be thinking of the front turn signal lenses as they are different. Quote:

No, it's how parts are advertised and the description always includes they are from an SS even if 90% of the parts came off a Malibu. Seems sellers think they can get more from un-educated buyers and it still happens far too often.
