'40s Accessory Question

[Malo48]

Hi all,

I read somewhere once that all the add-ons for the late-40s cars were to entice the public to buy new cars that were basically 1942 models while redesigns were being done. Recently, I came across a website that features a '48 Chevrolet Aerosedan that has almost every factory option for that year on it, from a radiator overflow tank and fog lamps to a hat holder and rear window blinds. I've seen a couple of similar options on Buicks of the same year like the rear window wiper and fog lamps, but nothing even close to the amount of bells and whistles on this Chev.

So I'm curious: were these options available for all makes, or were they specific to each brand? Where would I find a list of available options for late 40s Buicks?

Thanks!
