I've seen other 55 Fords and it looks like these are supposed to be shiny chrome, but I could be wrong and that might be aftermarket. Does anyone know if these are chrome because they look like they're just aluminum or straight steel?
I'd like to give these some TLC and see if I can get the stains out and get them shined up, but not knowing the material I don't want to mess them up. Anyone have any suggestions what to use?

Remove them and use chrome/metal polish and buff them.  They will come back alive and look nearly new.  After using the chrome polish, use a good paint polish and buff with soft cloth.  Joe-JDC
