chrome bumper
Gleaming car guard
A chrome bumper is an automotive bumper with a shiny metallic chrome finish, characteristic of cars from roughly the 1930s through the 1970s before plastic bumpers became standard.
The term often evokes nostalgia for classic American automobiles: His grandfather's Chevy still had its original chrome bumpers.
Chrome bumper also serves as shorthand for vintage car enthusiasts distinguishing older models from modern ones.
