Door Jam and Latch Paint?

[Tom Wesenberg]

Marco recently posted a picture of a Town Car, and the door jams were black, rather than body color. The door latches appear to be chrome plated. I was wondering if any other Model A's had door jams painted other than body color?

And did any other cars have plated, and not painted latches on the doors?

Thanks

There have been reports of Cabriolets as well as a couple leather back Fordors with the jambs painted UPPER body color which essentially is how the Town Car was done but all Town Cars had black upper bodies.

Plated latches were also used on Cabriolets.
