Terraplane trim screws 'n' hubcaps
-
Hello, I have a '37 Terraplane project. Does anyone have a source for the trim screws that attach the stainless steel strips on the outside edge of the grill? The head slides into grooves on the stainless steel trim piece. Sorry for an incoherent description, but anyone who has a '37 will know what they are.
Second, sometime in the past, I ended up with 7 hubcaps - four for 'Hudson Terraplane' in a circular pattern with 'Terraplane' on top, and the other three also with the script in a circle, but with 'Hudson' on top. Are these supposed to be interchangeable, or are they from different model years, or does it even matter?
Thanks!
John

1937 hubcaps say Terraplane-Hudson with red lettering. For 1938 they say Hudson-Terraplane and I think the script color may be red and blue?

for the grill clips on our 1936 Terraplane, I went to http://www.restorationspecialties.com/Products.html
and found one that was close and cut them down to fit. I am sure you can do the same on your 37. They have catalog online that you can download and see what they offer.
