Did you sell all of your 41 Cadillac parts at Hershey ?  I'm looking for a temperature control lever for the heater control panel and various other parts.  I'm working on a 75 19.

Are you looking for just the lever or the complete assembly and is it the "automatic" heating system? I have complete assembly and may have parts. You can contact me directly at

You should post a list as we all seem to have lots of 41 parts.

I'm looking for the temperature control lever for the heater control panel on the dash. Spring clips to hold the lock button wire to the lock mechanism in the doors. Running board SS trim . Chrome pieces on top of running boards. they can be in good shape or good enough to re chrome. Or entire running board, complete for 75,19. Also need good trunk chrome/ badge.  Who recovers 41 Limo. running boards? Thanks for any help, Mark Shultz

Hard to find running board stainless as it always gets 'Dinged'

There were some trunk badges on eBay a while back. Bet Bob has one lol

The only outfit re-covering running boards are up in Canada. Beautiful job but you will need real deep pockets.

There's a running board on eBay.

Steve, thanks for the running board site in Canada. I have been told to steer away from a Canadian running board company in Canada.  Is there another company in Canada? Has anyone had good luck with the company you suggested?

Steve, I own this 75 19 for 44 years. The previous owner drilled screw holes in the front of the trim to attach trim to running the board. Trim is in ok shape except for the hole. I will have to weld the hole shut and straighten out the trim. I hear this trim is very hard to find , if at all. Thanks for your help. Mark Shultz

I haven't heard anything bad about them nor have I had any made. Could be you were warned off because of the cost? I sure was.  Time was once when 'Steele rubber' would produce loads of patterns, most now discontinued. I know of no other outfit in Canada.
You could find something a bit close and make them up yourself?

There was indeed a guy doing running boards in Canada that "stiffed" more than one CLC member and no doubt others.  He was discussed at some length here a few (several?) years ago. 

A google search turns up some running board companies.   Here is one in Canada, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS THE ONE MENTIONED ABOVE!  Do your research ---

Another Canadian running board company --- http://www.runningboardrubber.com/

And the internet comes through again.  I strongly suggest anyone interested in, or might someday be interested in, the topic of running boards read the post at this link to the AACA forums!!  Very interesting and informative.  Might qualify as a MUST READ as far as running boards are concerned.

Thanks, G. Newcombe and Steve Pasmore for the read and all info on running boards. I will research all of the info tomorrow. I hope to get this car on the road soon. M. Shultz
