DavidNA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 To complete a renovation, I am looking for the radio for a 1938 Buick, either working or not, must have complete facia box with good dial, controls,knobs etc. I would also buy just the front tuning box with the dial and knobs, as I have a parts set, without the front console that fits through the dash.I will pay shipping costsThxDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Do you have a photo of what it looks like, I have a control box but unsure if it is 38 or 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Buick 80C Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 '37 the dial while circular fits in a square hole in the dash. (the bezel around the dial is square)'38 the bezel is also circular and the hole in the dash is circular. Hope that helps. Sorry don't have photos handy.

Dave Gelinas (XP-300) Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Your best bet is eBay. Are you a member of the 1936-1938 Buick Club? The club can also be helpful. I'm at Hershey this week. send me your email and I'll get back to you at the end of the week, with some contacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm just picking this thread up a few days late, but if you are still looking for a radio, there is a guy here in Ontario, Canada that has several thousand radios, and could have the one you need. He's not on the internet, so let me know if you still need it, and I'll PM you his phone number. He is in the business of buying, selling, and repairing car radios.

DavidNA Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hi,Thanks for the kind offer of a 1937 radio, I'm afraid it won't fit, the dash mounting and facia panel is quite different. For the moment I have a 1938 facia control box, which cosmetically is fine, but I do not have the rest of the radio that sits behind it.Kind regardsDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
