Re: New dash knobs for 1930

Thanks for the accessory information, David.

Just looked at a photo of a 1930 7-33 and its horn button and gear lever knob are black, probably Bakelite. The 1930-32 Parts List says the seventh series gear shift knob could be had from the factory on all models in either black or onyx. Eighth series was available in black or onyx on the juniors, walnut or onyx on the seniors. Mine must be accessories as they are both ivory (now caramel colored) Catalin.

The option of walnut for the senior '31 shift knob is the only suggestion of walnut burl-patterned Catalin in the Service Parts manual. The accessory list for 1931 offers "corresponding knob and button to complete the ensemble" but doesn't specify available colors.
