Who could possibly need a light fixture costing $800,000? The tacky kind of person who desperately needs to impress by casually letting it drop that it cost thast much.

The "chrome mandate" I think it was in 1958 that GM head of design, Herley Earl dictated that every full-sized GM model "must have" a "minimum" of 58 pounds of chrome on it. How they measured that 58 pounds, I don't know - given the cars, ya' think a measurment in acreage would've been simpler.
