Rusty_OToole Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I just bought a 42 Chev Special Deluxe sedan and would like to get the correct radio, heater and hubcaps. There are 2 big swap meets this weekend but I don't know what they look like. Can anyone direct me to some good pictures? I tried a Google search but cannot find a definite answer.

jim43 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Many years ago my first car was a 1942 Chevy " black out " sedan. Bumpers, trim, hubcaps, all painted green. I wire brushed the green paint off the hubcaps and discovered they had a brass skin that wire brushed up really gaudy. I don't know if all 42s had the brass skins or if that was a war production measure. Jim43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 My car is not a blackout model although I thought it might be at first since a lot of the chrome was painted silver. Turns out, it was done to cover up corroded chrome not lack of chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
