Thanks for the info Andyd. I was thinking about going with maroon but I didn't want to go both maroon interior and exterior. They didn't have maroon Testors at the hobby store so I'll have to find some somewhere. Thinking about flat tan interior with gloss ivory upper exterior and maroon lower. Don't think it was factory to two-tone it like that but the colors would be accurateish.

Hello all, I'm making a model (from a kit) of a 1941 Plymouth 2dr coupe. I'm wondering what the interior options/colors would have been for that year and style. Looking online I've seen maroon leather and tan cloth but I haven't able to find info on factory options. Thanks!

Cleaned up all the connections on the terminals but after that I actually got the cluster to light up. Pretty amazing considering it had basically been sitting outside for decades. Only thing is that I was using a 5V 1A power supply to light it, which is too low. Probably needs 7V with at least 2A. So right now it's very dim. Thinking of making a wooden rectangular frame and screwing it to that. Not sure what to do about the power supply though as 7V is a very uncommon number.

Thanks, the radio is too far gone to try to repair it, I pulled it to use the faceplate as décor as well as the instrument cluster. The cluster I should be able to light up with a 6V power supply but the radio I'll have to see about the best way to manage that. Pics:

Nice, you work for Eaton electric? Sorry to spoil the fun but they actually sold all the brand rights to some guy in the 1990's. (Yes I'm a total Packard nerd, how could you tell? ?) Ok, so I figured out what model I pulled it from. But first, does anyone want to take a guess? ?

Does anyone know what model years used the 812 radios? I pulled one out of an old Plymouth today but I don't know the actual year of the car. Also if anyone needs tubes or something from it, LMK. It's too water-damaged to restore on its own but the tubes COULD be good (if the connectors haven't rusted).
