The window moldings were wood grained as you suspected. The grain (and shade) is quite different on the Ford V8 models (aka "standard") than the Deluxe models.

Mike , can you post some pictures of original wood grained garnish molding's from a 1940 deluxe Ford. They seem to have a nice Maroon tone, and the wood grain that I have seen in the "40" V-8 cars seem to be more in the brown family, Are you going to have some color shots of this in your new book showing the difference?

Good Evening, Domenic--- See attached photos of Deluxe wood grain garnish moldings. I hope all of them get to you. If not, just let me know. You can also check out page 3-13 of the current Restoration Manual. The 40 V8 dash (yeah, yeah, I know it is the 40 Standard model - just being politically correct) is "...painted in 1 color - Briarwood Brown, which is a medium to dark nonmetallic brown. Mike, or one of the members can help you with those photographs. Have a nice weekend Tom

As I thought, looks like none of the photos made it. Send me a P.M with your e-mail, and I'll e-mail them to you. Sorry for the problem. Tom
