I am trying to find out what colours and method were used to create the woodgrain effect on a '34 3 window and what 'wood' was being emulated. I also want to find out the 'direction' of the grain on the side and rear window frames. I'm told that Ford used the 'Oxford' process to woodgrain but I've not been able to find out much about tis process. I also have a 1932 Phaeton and I'm advised that the dash panel would have been woodgrained but can't confirm whether this is the case or not. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Go to: woodgraining.com Watch their videos. In one of the Sorensen's videos from the 1934 Century of Progress World's Fair, they are demonstrating the factory technique on trays, using the same technique used by the Grain-It-Technology folks for woodgraining. I have one of the demo trays from the 34 Fair, pretty cool pattern on it, looks like a 34 dash. If you call the folks at GIT, they can answer your questions. I believe it is a burl pattern on the dash but don't know about the garnish moldings.

You should check out the Restoration Guidelines from the club for your cars. They will probably contain what you are looking for. Charlie Stephens

A '32 deluxe phaeton dash (front belt rail finish panel) was wood grained. Very early in the model year, the grain was straight walnut and subsequently burl grain walnut. The '32 standard phaeton dash was painted interior gray.
