I know the '42 lincolns had soft pale yellow knobs. What color is the lettering on the dash knobs? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Keith,

I went through my archives of Lincoln photos and these are the only ones I can find of 1942 dash knobs. The letters look like a really dark red to me.

It would appear that not many folks take pictures of their dashboard!

Perhaps someone else can come up with some better photos. Maybe even a 1942 Lincoln OWNER! What a concept!

KEITH, THE AUTHENTICITY MANUAL SAYS "CREAM PLASTIC WITH RED LETTERING."

Thank you Phil and John for your answer.

Earlier this summer I took on the project of molding and casting '41 dash and interior plastic. Well it's fall and I'm finally done. Attached is photo of the complete set.

I would like to thank Dave Springer and esp. John Murphy for their assistance in this endeavor. Without John's help I could not have done it. The knobs are "peach glow" but the photos show them more brown than they actually are.

Still looking for '41 steering wheel donors for my next epic journey. I have a restored '41 wheel for a mold but I need the metal rings of several old steering wheels. Wheels that can't be saved.

Thanks for letting me share.
