Trim Level Differences?

RL Chilton

Two Questions:



Something I read recently: "As the 1950s dawned, . . . . Commodores were also marketed in two trim levels, base and Custom, while the Super line was available in a single trim level."



1) What are the specifics on the "base" and "Custom" trim levels?, and

2) At a glance, how do you tell a '46 from a '47?

1. not sure about differences for Commodores, but there was two different trim levels for supers in 50 i.e. with and without the side stainless and porkchop. I just thought it was marketing trying to add a little splash to the commodore by calling it a custom, kinda like calling the convertibles brohahgs.

2. grille center larger on 47
trunk "Hudson" plastic in 46 chrome in 47
driverside key lock for door not present till 47

The most obvious difference is the ornament on the front of the hood has an extra bead of chrome around it on the '47's.
