fosbreed1 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 What is the official color designation of the window and vent window crank knobs? I've seen many descriptions from maroon to burgundy to cranberry but am uncertain of the actual color description assigned by Buick ? Thanks for looking !

1939_Buick Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) I doubt if there is/was an official color designation of the window and vent window crank plastic knobs. For me they are maroon. Colors vary, but there are standards/ID for some industrial colors. BS BS2660, BS381C, BS4800 and BC5252 - https://www.britishstandardcolour.com/ Likely a USA equivalent Edited July 11, 2023 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markewebb '39 Buick Team Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 This link won't answer your question. However, it gives great information on how to polish and clean them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosbreed1 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the feedback you guys I just purchased two window cranks with maroon knobs and escutcheons and 1 door handle with maroon escutcheon for my 39 Special that were listed on Ebay I feel very fortunate to have gotten them because they were listed under 1940 parts and I happened to spot them on a hunch to look at the 1940 page. I try for OEM parts whenever possible and as you all know 1939 parts can be a challenge Edited July 11, 2023 by fosbreed1 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
