The fan and defrost knobs, and the temp and air levers look very 1953/54 Plymouth/Dodge. 1954 Dodge has a similar panel but there is a third lever for vent, and the fan and defrost knobs are elsewhere on the dash. Also, the defrost knob on the '54 Dodge just says "DEF" and is an electrical blower switch rather than a cable drive like this one.

What if you were to loosen the allen screws and remove the knobs? Might there be a number on the back of the knobs, or down in the rim of the housing that the knobs are hiding?

I'm guessing this is late 40s to mid 50s because the wires for the blower resistor are attached by screws rather than a push on connector. Sure looks like it would fit a '55 Chevy, but their controls don't have those big knobs. Wish I could place it.

According to the Oct. 28, 1920 edition of the Oxford Press, cement floors were laid in Frank Wilson's new auto garage building at Third and Broad streets. Frank Wilson dealt in Reo and Overland. Later he would deal in Studebaker.

At one time the read Oxford Auto Parts. The building is located in Oxford, PA.

I bought a nicer one for $250. OK, that was 1987...

This ^^^^^^^^^. And - don't pinch the harness when reinstalling the column clamp/bolts. It lets the smoke out. 😞

Hard to tell. Do you see any part numbers? What would you like it to fit?

That is not just any old Royale Brougham, but an LS, which used the previous year's 98 Regency Brougham interior (except for the door panels). But... That is not an '85 grille, which leads me to believe it's been crunched in the front. Also, the upper body chrome moldings are missing.

This might help.

I think you should check out the '54 Lincoln prestige brochure. None of the instrument panels look gold to me. One page refers to small gold stars on a pearl gray background. Another refers to interior metals in Regent Black and Silver Slurry. https://oldcarbrochures.org/United States/Lincoln/1954-Lincoln/1954-Lincoln-Prestige-Brochure/index.html

It would be nice to see the document. 733 was the code for red leather interior for DeVilles. 98 was the code for Damson Plum Firemist paint. This was a recommended combination. I was thinking T could be an accent stripe color, but there is no T listed under stripes. The only T I found was for Buckskin vinyl roof color. All the above information was obtained by viewing 1977 Cadillac dealer album listings on eBay.

I tried to find the posting that I referred to earlier, but I couldn't. I hate it when that happens...

Yes, he backed out. Unloaded it and left it there. Wouldn't buy it without a title.

Someone posted about this in one of the Facebook Olds groups. He made a deal. Went with a trailer to pick it up. Car was on the trailer. Owner says there's no title...
