Stainless strips where waterfall goes on dash

[bigblockgirl]

What are the stainless strips called where the waterfall goes on the dash?
Were they an add on or did some cars come with that?

If you are referring to the stainless in the center of the 1936 dash where the radio or ashtray would go, it is called the waterfall.

What year model are you asking about.

There were some that came with two strips and grommet around the windshield crank out instead of the full width "waterfall".

Those trim strips and the stainless grommet around the windshield crank came on the 36 standard. Hard items to find.

I have one of those strips but not a pair. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM.

Those dash strips were introduced on DELUXE 1936 woodgrain dashes during the spring updates introduced about June 1936. The area between the strips and the ashtray cover was also woodgrained at that time.

I stand corrected on my previous post. Page 37 of the V-8 Club's 35-36 book states the following" In June 1936, there is evidence that some deluxe dashes came with two narrow stainless strips on either side of the center ash receptacle hole. There was also a chrome escutcheon ring around the window crank hole". Note the word "some", so apparently not all deluxes had this trim.

I have 3 sets of those strips but only 1 window crank surround. The surround is what is really hard to find, the 1 I do have is NOS

My 36 is a very late, Aug 36 deluxe car, it originally had the water fall trim in the center with wood-graining..

I have a dash with just the crank surround on it. I don't remember if it has any strips...I'll have to look. If anyone is looking for a surround, send me a PM and maybe we can work something out.

If your dash had the strips you would've seen slots in the dash to mount the strips.

The crank surround/grommet/escutcheon was used on 1935 and 1936 standard dashes painted either Maroon or Benton Grey (48-701590-A and 68-701590-B resp.) In June 1936 the grommet was issued in a chrome plated format (68-701590-C) to be used with the stainless dash strips (68-701570) mentioned above.

Since I don't see any slots, my dash must never have had any of the strips.

Most likely you have a standard dash with out waterfall or strips

Those are what I am talking about. A friend has a set and wanted me to find out what they are called.

Yes those are the strips I am talking about. A friend has a set and wants to sell them but I was not sure what they were called. Thank You.

Ok thanks. A friend has a set he wants to sell and I never saw them before. I know what a waterfall is but not those strips. Thank again.
