Glenn, would this be the type of knob you are looking for? I'm not sure if this knob is an original or a reproduction.

Glenn, if you are not looking for the exact knob, you can try McMaster-Carr. search "aluminum knobs" and they have a pretty good selection. You may have to tap them for correct thread size. As for the trim clips try Restoration Specialties, 814-467-9842, www.restorationspecialties.com, they have a great catalog.

Glenn, any luck finding those spring clips that hold the SS trim? I did notice that an original 37 Ford luggage rack has what appears to be the same spring clip.

Glenn, I have a few loose clips in a box. Would any of these fit the bill? How many do you need??
