bearestir Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I would appreciate any information on where I can find a hood ornament for a 1939 Buick. I found a site that had reproduction 1938 and 1940 hood ornaments, but not for 1939. Also, I am looking for a source of the metal reflector that goes behind the headlight in a 1939 Buick.Thank you,Bryce Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Stock Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 There has been recent discussion about reflectors. Check the Search for this forum.No repro hood ornaments so far as I am aware so it will need to be an old one. Check out your local Buick club network; and they come up from time to time on Ebay (e.g. item 230713820646) in various conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Magrath Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 A 39 Chevy headlight reflector will do the trick Bryce.CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grant Magrath Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's a rather personal question!Sorry Bryce, couldn't resist that one.....!No, just the one, but as I said, they shouldn't be hard to come by since there were some 500,000 39 Chevies made. Your local trophy shop can re-silver them, or you can get that flash "Elvira" (another joke) process.CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
