VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 1933 Inside door handles

I have a very original 33 Chevy Master 4 door, it was my folks for about 40 years. Some of the inside door handles over the years stripped and would not hold tight enough to open the windows or doors. My dad replaced some of them over the years with handles from swap meets.

My question is, what should the round knob look like on the window handles? I have seen some of them chrome, I have seen some that are ivory and some are brown. I see reproductions that have chrome knobs.

Anyone know what a correct inside window handle looks like? Chrome, ivory or brown? Thanks.

Mine are Chrome

Actually the handles should be nickel instead of chrome. Gets confused very often as both are shiny "white". The nickel has a little golden tint compared to the chrome "white".

well they probably are nickle, just responding that they NOT were ivory or brown.

I probably should have also stated that the knobs were metal not plastic.

Ok, thanks! I thought they were supposed to be nickel or chrome metal, not ivory plastic. I think the ivory plastic ones were just a little bit later.

I have some original window crank handles if you still need some, E-mail me at; bwbugay@aol.com

Yes, the other responses are correct. Handles and all crank knobs are metal on a 1933.

I never took notice what year the plastic knobs for the window cranks appeared on Chevrolets, but it was after 1933.

1934 and up had various dRK COLORED PLASTIC LOOKING KNOBS. 1938 HAD KIND OF AN IVORY KNOB ON THE mASTER dELUXE.

ab buff, nice car. Love that color and those handles look like what I was thinking mine should be. Some of mine are metal and some have the plastic knob. Thanks.
