    Looking for front Turn Signals/Indicators for my '38 Century Coupe

    Fellow Buick enthusiasts, I am looking for a set of turn indicators for the front of my 1938 Buick Century. Preferably straight, without repair, w/lenses. I'm looking for the complete set-up which I can install without having to source other parts to complete.
    I'm new to the world of pre-war Buicks and I'm not sure what models used them. My guess is that the business coupe, century, and 4 door sedans used all of the same indicators.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    John

    Welcome to the forum (we like photos)

    Indicator's were not fitted as standard until 1939, and then only on the rear
    So anything you fit will be after market - custom. Look on ebay
    Have seen replacement bulb holders that allow dual filament globes to be fitted
    When better Automobiles were built, Buick built Straight 8's

    G'day John and welcome to a fellow '38 Century man.
    Are you referring to the parking lights that sit on top of the front guards (fenders) ??
    These are sometimes wired up as blinkers (indicators).

    John,
    Bob's sells these as a unit, and you can find the steering column lever assy @ almost any hot rod site on the net. You can power the system from a hot point on the ignition switch.
