I'm guessing it's a 1942 or 1945....made either just at the start of or after the end of the war, then automakers couldn't get chrome. They produced limited quantities of these "blackout" models with black painted trim, and now they're collectible. They're especially odd looking when the body paint isn't black.

I would guess it's just one with the trim painted black, I think the "black out" models usally had trim painted silver.

#3, T'was almost universally painted black, sir. Hence the nickname "blackout."

I'm looking for pics now, but haven't found any so far, but from historical photos I've seen the bumpers were usally painted a light color.

#7, That's a good example. The one in the above pic is probably a blackout model that has had its hubcaps replaced at some point.
What you guys are probably thinking of is painted-over worn chrome. In the days before stainless steel replaced chrome-plated steel, the plating would wear off of cars over time. Rather than having used cars rechromed, a lot of people would just simulate the look (poorly) by painting trim pieces (especially bumpers) silver. Some of these are still seen around.
