1960 Drauz Roadster Engine and Trunk lock color

#1 Post by Roy Velthof »

Hello,

Preping my 1960 Drauz Roadster for paint, wondering what is the correct finish for the engine hood lock + lockplate and the trunk hood lock + lockplate.

Thanks

Roy

They are black on a conv D, also built by Drauz. I would guess it is the same on yours

Roy, my 60 roadster was repainted from silver to black around 1990, so I have no idea what the original colors were of those pieces. However, for what its worth, they are now gloss black just like the rest of the car.
