1937 Buick Series 40 Running Board Moldings

[Guest Luke J N]

Just purchased a Special can't seem to locate replacements.

tried looking online (Bob's) with no luck.

Any suggestions, I'm brand new at this.

Thanks,

Congratulations on your new car. I would suggest you try Jim for your first place to search for running board molding. Sorry I don't have an email or phone number handy. But you can try snail mail at:

You might also think about joining the BCA and the 36-38 Club which is a division of the BCA. There is also a 37-38 yahoo group that is free to join. Welcome aboard. Carl

Luke, got mine form the above source ( Buick Restoration Services ) and they fit perfect. I paid 230.00 with shipping 5 years ago. At that time he didn't share his phone number and didn't do e-mail. So the mail was the only way to go. Maybe this way he could get work done in the shop and sell parts on the side. The service was good and parts were perfect. Good luck and make sure you join the BCA !

Steve,

This seems suspicous to me. A guy named James who just joined the same day writes me to contact him on his E-Mail.

He writes that for $200.00 shipping included he has the moldings. I write back I'm new and need info i.e. NOS - Repro - material used.

No responce I'm wondering if it was a potential rip-off scam ? Does this type of thing happen to the unsuspecting ? If I'm correct there should be an alert to the membership.If I'm paranoid I appologize.

It does sound like a scam. I think someone saw the information and prices, then sent you an e-mail fishing for $200.

There is only one source I am aware or. But there is always the possibility of someone with a NOS set......

Good to be careful.
