On some combination coupes, the escutcheons are all metal.
INSTRUMENT PANEL: All deluxe models have the dash panel and garnish moldings Mahogany-grain, and the custom models are lacquered to harmonize with the upholstery. The plastic inserts in the dash along with the speedometer and clock bezels, and the center grill are gray for standard/deluxe models and tan for the custom models. The clock and speedometer hands are matched, 1938 &1939 models the hands are red and in an offset pattern. The 38 & 39 speedometers have a split reading with the speed read out on top and tach readout on the bottom. The 1940 speedometer just had the speed readout. A cigar lighter is standard equipment on the custom models and optional on deluxe models. A single windshield wiper motor operates both wipers with a single control on top and center of the dash.
UPHOLSTERY: 1938 AND 1939 Deluxe models have two tone Glengary gray cloth seats, doors and sidewalls. The roof is lined with headlining cloth to match. Mohair or leather upholstery is optional. On custom models,
