The more expensive 1947-1948 Chrome die cast knob handles were discontinued in late 1948. GM replaced these knobs with a maroon non-metal design to match the same color grained door panels.

About 1953 the knobs went black as are all of the reproduction today.

For the perfectionist: If you want your window raiser knobs correct, we have a few used pairs available. Knobs are not frozen and the small attaching screws to the window stud are in place.
