 The concours standards state that the front shocks were dip painted
 black in their entirety (January 1997 version, page 19) while the rear
 shocks had unpainted bodies and black arms (page 20).
 
 I have seen at least one gold level car (restored) where the front
 shocks were indeed painted all balck >>

Ok you guys are forcing the hand here.  For all intensive purposes the above
is accurate.  Doesn't mean that some cars were different.  Just means that the

paint the things and be done with it.
