as far as I know gm never chrome plated them, the chrome ones you see are from later owners.
gm did small updates every year to keep their new vehicles fresh, sometimes the upgrade was purely cosmetic, and sometimes it was for a function, it was said that the "new" 62 hood offered quite a bit more front end sight line for the driver.
if you have a 60, and a 61 hood, check out the spot in the center up by the cowl vent where the 2 "pods" connect: 60 is smooth and rounded, and 61 has a sharp edge. not sure why this was done, but they are definitely 2 different stampings.
