I'm 99.834% sure that, from the factory, all years were anodized aluminum.

I remember my 68 had totally different style than later years, but can't remember their composition.
Two pieces i think....

69's are fiberglass with a shiny molding trim above it. Maybe polished aluminum? They're painted.

68’s and 69’s were fiberglass with the separate aluminum upper trim.

. Yea,,, My wife remembers these.. She fondly recalls polishing and re finishing ours as I worked on dirtier parts. In later years, we painted the one piece covers to appear like the 68-69 pieces. But, neither one of us could remember if they were metal. Thanks for the reminder....
