37 Zephyr Glove Box help

I need some help with the glove boxes on my 37 Zephyr. I need to source the cardboard glove boxes themselves, but I also need to locate the locking/latch mechanism. As you can see from the attached photos I have nothing on the reverse of the doors to latch the glove doors. Any help appreciated. Mike

Hello Mike,

I bought my cardboard glove box interiors from the following:-

Ron Carpenter

20 Los Ranchitos

Alamo

CA 94507

Tel 925-933-1486

At the time they were $145.95 the pair

For the 1937 LZ both glove box interiors are the same depth but for 1938/39 one is shorter

to allow for the fitting of a radio on the inside of the firewall. RHD is a mirror image of LHD.

In the past we had made them ourselves but it is quite a lot of work to bend the material,

cover it with the lining and then try to find the fittings if they are missing.

The lids are held upright by a flat horseshoe shaped spring and if I look through my "junk"

boxes I think that I can find a couple for you.
