    What Years are these heaters?

    Well the main thing about them is the gold one is from a Pacemaker, it’s control knob is on the unit, the blue one is for a Super, Commodore or Hornet with the controls remotely mounted under the dash by the driver.

    Tan/beige one is standard for 1946-49.  41+42 are the same, but diff color.  Black one is 51-54 with a poor repaint.

    Ric is actually right but the knob on the bottom model continued up to 1951. Not many but used on the Pacemakers until the old stock ran out.  As for heaters, look at the thickness on the heater on the beige model. If it's the thick type with black iron pipe nipples that unscrew, then thats the 42-47 model. If the pipes are all copper and don't unscrew then you have the stepdown model. Again, some of the thick heaters were used in the early stepdown production until the supply ran out.
