Topic: 37 exterior door handle escutcheon

  Hello,
I remember reading somewhere that the escutcheon on the exterior door handles (for a 1937)is chrome plated, whereas the handle itself is polished stainless steel. Is this correct?

I am having mine redone and as you know, it takes some work to remove the escutcheon and re-install it after chroming!

Thanks,
Gregg

  I have actually seen the escutcheon be stainless also. I think it depended on the supplier. Most handles have the escutcheon made from stamped brass that is chrome plated.

  Thanks for that, much appreciated information. I will go with the chrome plated escutcheon to be inline with "most" cars.
