Black Beauty chrome hood ornament question
On some pictures of the Black Beauty, there is a flat long V shape chrome hood ornament. I had always assumed it was a reflection of black paint. Was that Chrome Hood ornament on the TV show?
Also the grille looks like it's brushed aluminum and not chrome. For the model kit do you think it should be shiny chrome grille or unpainted so people can paint it brushed aluminum?

I'm no expert but it doesn't look like it has a hood ornament. I think that crease just catches light. Also the grill looks painted silver or anodized to me. Not chrome.

Agree.
I also think this photo settles the question about whether GH’s hat was green in fact. It certainly appears to be, and the color does not appear to be off anywhere else in the photo.

In some pictures there is definitely a flat chrome ornament that fits into an indentation slot on the hood but on the Batman photo it looks like it was painted black.

Already answered on the FB page. BB1-vs BB2 had differences. BB2 had an extra chrome metal hood detail piece installed on the hood front, BB1 it was just silver paint. And BB-vs-Batmobile Batman/Robin vs Green Hornet/Kato "accident" photos were pre-production BB1 and not the way it looked on the GH show nor in the Batman crossover episode.
