Oh yeah, she's a real beauty!!!
There's probably catalog images on the Findley site that list which models were available in all-chrome. IIRC, they went for $20 to $40 more per bike- quite a premium when the whole bike might be $250. Aside from the Paramounts, the Super Le Tour 12.2 was available in chrome.
