Says to call if you don't see what you want. He can make it. He stressed it can be slow. If not ready made and in stock, be prepared to wait 8-10 months. That is his backlog to make new ones. Call for more info. 973-423-1196. His name is Donald Kuehn (N Haledon, NJ). His booklet states he takes a $50 deposit and the plates would be shipped c.o.d. when ready. He didn't take checks or credit cards or paypal. I'd have a set if he did. Since he didn't, my set of plates will just wait til another day.

He's had several in stock each year at Hershey.  Hopefully if you're after one, it'll be one he has ready to go.

The prices are per plate, or for a set?  That is to say, the price for a full set for the 1947 4-door would be $1100?

 I had him make a set for the 52 Wasp I am working on. Turned out very nice. I'd have to look the ticket up but I think the pricing is for a set.  (I would have rememberd 1100.00 I think and went another route)

bull_islander

price was for a pair (coupe), set (sedan).

aThe prices above are from the catalog I got from them in 2012.  So they may have changed.

I just use a brillo pad with plenty of water to keep the soap going, and they turn out like new.

I just use a brillo pad with plenty of water to keep the soap going, and they turn out like new.

But if you don't have a set, what are you going to scrub?

Contact Donald Kuehn. 973-423-1196. (N Haledon, NJ). He may have a set in stock otherwise it could take up to 6 months for him to make a pair.

Here are a few photos of Mr. Donald Kuehn's fine workmanship. I bought door sills from him for my 47 Cadillac and my 48 Super Six. As you can see, they are gorgeous! I don't recall what I paid for the Cadillac sill plates but the Hudson ones were $280 plus $25 for shipping within the U.S. (The tatty looking one, of course, is my old one.)

I bought a set of his sill plates for my 46 pickup and they look great.

Can you post a photo of the sill plate installed in your truck?

29sptphaeton

I’ll try and have some photos sent to me on Sat. And post them.

40indianssgmailcom

Thanks I am looking forward to seeing them installed. I might find it necessary to order a set for my 47 pickup

29sptphaeton

Here are the photos, I bought them from sill plate guy from NJ at Hershey $225 pr. Front sills from46-47 commodore 4dr. Are the same. Not sure if pickups had them, but they sure give it a finished look.
