Default Town Car door pulls

Does anyone know the correct finish for a 30 Town Car door pull that is attached to the windowframe? Also the correct finish for the inside and outside door openers and window crank handles?

Town Car or Town Sedan, there is a BIG difference?

I guess I need some education regarding that question. What is the difference? Mine is a fordor with a roof all the way to the windshield. Is the car shown in Bob Johnson's avatar above a Town Car? If yes, then I have a Town Sedan. I'm still learning everyday from you guys - Thanks!

Is there anything else that should be the nickel plated, butler finish besides the window crank handles, & door openers?
How about the windshield wiper on/off knob?
Emergency brake handle/lever?
gear shift shaft?
oval dome light bezel?
anything else before I send these out for plating?
Anyone know any good nickel, butler finish platers in the northeast?
