Guest Grant Magrath Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi there!I'm looking for a front bumper and bumper guards for our 1939 Special business coupe, as well as a horn ring and steering wheel centre cover. We bought a nice recast wheel from Bell Buick Parts, and now need the rest of the bits. Can any of you wonderful Buick enthusiasts help? Our car came with a 1940 bumper, and a 1940 horn ring and centre cover. We've had the horn ring and centre cover re-chromed, so if anyone wants to swap......?

JCK55buick Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi, Grant,I recently saw Bell Buick parts advertise a 39 horn ring (reproduction) on e-Bay, I think it was priced at $395. I was told by my previous 39 owner that these are actually a little larger diameter than the originals because they make a mold and the repro turns out slightly larger than stock. I am still searching for a nice stock horn ring for my 39 Model 90. If you find two, let me know!Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Magrath Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks for the info Jeff.We bought a recast steering wheel from Bell Buick, and it's quite nice. The color is spot on. I thought for the money, the chrome could have been better on the hub though. I suggested to them that they could buy our 1940 center and horn ring, and they want to see photos. Just have to get round to taking them! Can't sell them locally as there's probably only 1 or 2 1940's in New Zealand. I'll keep my eye out for a horn ring for you!CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCK55buick Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi, Grant,I bid on a NOS 39 horn ring on e-Bay yesterday, but I did not get it. I put a max bid of $300, it went for $305. Guess I should have gotten back to the computer before the auction ended, but was not able to.....oh, well!Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Magrath Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Damn!We had that one on our watch list, but it's way out of our price range! With this economic meltdown, our dollar is losing it's value against the U.S. A few months ago, NZ$1 was worth 81 cents. Now it's only worth 57 cents! Great if you want to buy stuff from here! I'll have to hunt out some stuff to sell and build my US funds up.CheersGrantPS I think We're all good as far as the horn ring goes. I'll have to get in touch with Skip Boyer and get some interior plastic organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
