"Yep that's a 38 dash. Now I have a question- there are 4 knobs or the holes for 4 knobs where the radio goes. I have a volume knob and a tuning knob,what are the other (outside) knobs for? Right now I have my turn signal lights in there."

Can't recall what the "knob" to the right of the radio is, the one to the left is a bulb. It is unshielded and seems to be red. The guess about directionals is a good one. There are absolutely no lights on the car, but there is a hint on the steering column. Just below the wheel the column is wrapped with friction tape (remember friction tape and dark closets?) This suggests that at one time a directional switch was mounted on the column.

I have decided the car is a 120CD, or the 1938 equivalent. It has "all the options", radio, clock, dual tone horns, banjo wheel, etc. Too bad it is "just parts".
