VCCA Home Forums Thread Like Summary - 1937 Defrost hole

The 1937 chevy has a hole in the dash for defroster. The plug that covered the hole if the option for defrost was not taken what is it called.

My 1937 Chevy had a heater & defroster installed by the dealer when new.
When I bought it the metal cover for the vent hole was in the dash, so I'm quite sure it was installed at the factory and removed when a defroster was added.

My cover is not for sale, but for reference, here are pictures.

Ed,

You are correct. There is only one defroster opening for the driver’s side of the windshield in a ‘37. There were defroster outlets for both sides in 1938.

The part in Headlighter’s post looks like the block-off plate that was in my ‘37.

The really rare part is the single defroster duct for a 1937 car.

That is WAY different from the 38. You can't even see them in a 38 unless you remove the windshield garnish molding or crawl under the dash. Interesting to see Chevy evolution in action.
