Leads on 1939 Chrysler plastic dash parts

[brooklynbeer]

I know a tall order. Just acquired a very low mileage 1939 4 door Royal and of course the dash plastic is toast. Is anyone repo'ing the parts yet ?

My car is a 47 model Plymouth and various knobs are offered on eBay for this model.  Have you looked there yet?  I imagine there are some vendors who specialize in your model but it may take a while to find them. You might correspond with others on this forum who you see with the same vintage car as yours.  You can send personal messages direct via the forum.  Good luck in your hunt.

knobs are the easy part.  It is the gauge surround and glove box door that after searching here and on the net I can't find or just come across an old post from 7 years ago about "A guy from so in so knew a guy who was making some but I can't remember who that was"   These didn't last maybe a couple years before they looked like this.

There was a guy on eBay a few years ago who recast them.  His name was ED PAUCH, and he was from somewhere in Canada.  I know, that's not a lot of information, but how many guys named Ed Pauch can there be in Canada who cast old Chrysler plastic parts?
