    Just to add a bit to this.
    On the ADR side of things
    ADR 12 Glare Reduction in Field of View was 1/1/73 going by Government documents.
    But checking on Adelaide built HQ ADR tags the earliest I have seen it listed was Jan 72.
    So a year before the Government date said it had to be done.
    Which also coincides with what Oz has said time wise.

    On the fascias themselves
    I go with the silver to start with and then painted to use Oz,s words
    a grey transluscent paint over the chrome scales and then was changed to a green tinge over the chrome.
    But there does seem to be a bare black plastic fascia as well.
    I have one of these straight bare plastic GTS type fascia in my car. ?

    On the consoles has anyone any ideas about the differences in the front of the HQ consoles.
    Straight front and angled front.
    The difference can be seen in this picture.

    It seems to be a early type console difference.

    Cheers Paul.

    All consoles were molded from black ABS plastic and then painted.... Even black consoles are actually painted with black paint over the black plastic. HJ to HZ dash plastic is the same, all painted over black ABS plastic.
