We are looking for the year, make & model of the most recent automobile that incorporated no (ZERO) PLASTIC anywhere on it or in it? Thanks for help on this.

I believe that would be a 1931 Model A. 32's had plastic or composition choke and throttle knobs. If you go with everything but dash knobs, believe it would be 40 Ford.

Thank you Jim. Our daughter had this question posed to her class at Chico State, and has been asking all relatives for help with an answer. Steve

Hey Steve,
I can not think of anywhere on the 1942 Ford GPW where there is plastic, The later ones had plastic sterring wheels, but the early ones had bakalite.

Gus

GP's and GPW's had plastic in the tailights and black out lamps at least my GP has and I think the same units were used on both early models.
