61polara 454 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm trying to build some documentation on this. What years did the auto manufacturers switch from cloth covered insulation to plastic on their wiring. Also, what years did they switch from cloth wrap to a plastic wrap? Photos of original cars will be a plus. Link to post Share on other sites
Bimus 16 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I have noticed 53 Chevrolet cars with cloth or plastic covered wires and though maybe early 53's had cloth and later 53's had plastic covered . Link to post Share on other sites
