Apparently really chrome plated,according to the description.
Bid to $6,500 and was a no sale on the block.

Every piece of exterior sheet metal is chrome plated. You can see yourself in it from any angle.

- Black removable roof

Has to be the chrome paint...look under the hood...why would you paint the underside black. Also look at the inner fenders.

Also, it would be HUGELY cost prohibitive to chrome large panels like that...and not have them warp.

LOL...what a waste...

Glad to see that they used their chroming expertise under the hood as well

They should have added some bedazzle stones to it and taken it to SEMA...

Well, I saw the CHROME blazer in person this weekend at the Mecum auction and the only question I have is...
