They're probably pot metal castings.

Your other questions are much too general for anyone to answer. Perhaps if you posted make, model numbers etc., someone might be able to help.

Default moldings, emblems

Depends on what make of car we are talking about. Most GM cars used anodized aluminum for grills and side moldings in the 60s. Trim around the front and rear glass was usually stainless steel.Emblems were mostly chrome plated.
