Cracked plastic chrome grill surround for restored 1968 Buick Gran Sport needs repair

++++++

I am the original owner of a restored 1968 Buick Gran Sport 350 two-door hardtop midnight blue metalflake streamlined baby.
Recently, a mechanic replacing the engine's timing chain accidentally cracked the grill surround, a chrome piece that looks like an elongated inverted U that rests above the grill. (The original grill surround was metal, but the damaged piece is plastic.)
I want to know where I can send the damaged piece for repair and rechroming.
I ordered the car while working in Saigon in the spring of 1968 as editor of the U.S. Army's First Infantry Division newspaper. The car was waiting for me at a Buick dealership in Ohio when I returned home in July, 1968.
