I thought you meant the fins were silver on the sides, and the front face of the fins was black.
I’m beginning to like the all black look.
The 70’s are the ugliest.
That silver could have been applied with a specifically shaped roller. No masking required. The edging might have been hand painted....with a bit of practice, it becomes easy to do.
I thought that too. They didn’t have those touchup pens like what we have now. I was thinking about using that on mine, but I like the Black look.
That is interesting then....you would think a good portion of the overspray would make the sides of the fins look half done unless they somehow figured a way to decrease the amount of paint that would stick.
Not really, 68’s didn’t sell as well as the 69’s right?

Actually, it appears that the lack of silver paint on the grille fins resulted in a loss of Charger sales in 1969.
"As mentioned above, the 1968 Dodge Charger was a revelation in terms of sales for Chrysler; 96,000 were built for that model year alone, which was a huge improvement over the more lackluster movement of the ’66–67 editions. Very nearly the same number left the factory in 1969 (89,199), with production halving (46,315) by the third and final year of production."

Seriously though, I like both 68’s and 69’s the best.Actually, it appears that the lack of silver paint on the grille fins resulted in a loss of Charger sales in 1969.
