For cocktail conversation... the plastic on the dash of the '41 Packard is Tenite.
Quote:
Per Wikipedia:
"Tenite is a cellulosic thermoplastic first created in 1929 for use in the manufacture of consumer goods. It is manufactured by Eastman Chemicals, using softwood as a raw material.
Unfortunately, I have no clue as to what solvent/glue would be appropriate for this miracle material. You should see the ashtray on my '41... looks like it's been baked, compressed, stretched, sand blasted and then smacked with a big stick.
Maybe you could ask Eastman Chemicals... believe it or not, they are apparently still manufacturing Tenite.
