Well...  my 700 had a silver one.   The '60 900 Monza has a chrome 
button.   No '60 500 in the fleet so I don't know if I can help you 
there, other than mentioning that I did swap out the silver button on 
the 4-door with a chrome one off a junkyard '60 Monza...  the 
original silver one had faded so badly over the years that it hardly 
looked like silver paint at all, more like dull potmetal.    Could 
your friend's horn button simply be faded?
