1939 Buick interior door handle....help!

[airbrushguy]

Almost completed my restoration and I broke my 1939 Buick Century interior door handle. It is the type with the maroon plastic insert.

The original plastic insert is still good, but the chrome handle is broken.

Can anyone help me?

Could also use the stainless steel escutcheon with maroon plastic ring behind it that all go behind the handle.

Thank you

Bob's has a good selection of door handles. You might get lucky there.

Bobs unlikely to have the handles with insert. An elderly gent here in Melb Australia used (does?) make is cast stainless steel for Bob's.

Skip Boyer makes reproduction maroon plastic ring (barboy ? on Ebay)

I have an old door handle for a 39 Limited. i bought it and removed the maroon plastic insert to use in my car. The door handle is rough but I believe it's all there, no escutcheons though. If you are interested e-mail me at mr.seward@sbcglobal.net. It'll be easier to send you photos of what I have. Hope this helps.

I have spare stainless steel escutcheon's but will not be where my parts are stored for another 6 - 8weeks

I have the handle, but, I will have to clean it to see how good or bad it is. I also have the escutcheon, but will need to know how thick the maroon plastic is, I have 2 different thicknesses, let me know, 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. Thanks, Paul

But does he drink beer !

Is this for the seat bracket, handle, maroon plastic ring & stainless steel escutcheon ?

Was able to get a 1939 Interior door handle, but not exactly the one that matches my other handles. What I need is the kind that have a maroon plastic triangular insert set into the handle. I am interested in what you have even if the plastic is bad or missing If you have one, a pic would help.

Thanks

I have the handle that you are looking for, came off a '39 Century parts car. I have a '39 Century, so, I know its correct. Please call me to discuss the escutcheon that you were looking for also. Thanks, Paul 314-574-9853
