Are the brake handle and clock retainer the same color?

Hi Plymboy, I think you need to give a little more information for an answer. Like year, body style, deluxe or standard or super deluxe or special or ???. Good luck 42oink

I would think asking the question in the 1940 Ford section that he is talking about a 1940 Ford. Asking about clock details would make the Ford a deluxe. Body style would not matter.

I was never able to find a code for the clock nor the retainer. However, from my experience, they match the "courtesy lamp" bezel very closely. Dark brown - not like the Ford V8 model dash but again, close to the lamp bezel.

Good Evening All---- The bezels for the interior light itself and the switch are definitely, dark brown, like Mike said. The 1940 Ford Restoration Manual, on page 3-15, states "...the clock cover is painted Briarwood Brown". I think this is the name of the dark brown color for these pieces. I am sending you 4 photos of the clock, retainer, and interior light switch and bezel. But being technically- challenged, I seem to be having some problems sending them to you. I'll send them to you individually to be sure you get them. Best of luck on the restoration. Tom

Hi 42 MERC, Boy, is my face red! But when PLYMBoy (get it?) asks a question, I just wanted to be on the same page. If you scan down the topics, maybe you can explain what a 50 conv or 46 Ford super deluxe is. But then we all know what happens when you ASSUME. Thanks 42 MERC. 42 oink.
