Extra Chrome on a 1247

Just wondering what you guys think. Bill Lawton came over the other week and helped me get my 1933 1247 running, and while working on the engine, and seeing the chrome valley covers, chrome sparkplug wire guides (now black) and the fact that all the nuts on the engine and in the brakes are chrome. Bill thought the car was either a show car or someone was very proud of it. It also has a lot more woodwork in the interior than most Piereces I’ve seen. Have you guys seen other v-12’s with that much chrome, and what are the chances of it being a factory show car at one time. As far as I can tell the original owner was an elderly lady in LA. Thanks Doug Vogel
