1939 dome light lens?

[Pete Phillips]

Can someone confirm that this is a dome light lens & bezel for a 1939 Buick, and if so, is it in all series or just the Roadmaster? I have three of them in various conditions, from D. Corbin's estate and wish to sell them but need to confirm they are what I think they are.

They are not for 1939 Buick series 40 (special) or series 60 (century). These use a very different plainer style

Edit:

Looking at my collection of series 80 & 90 they do look the same as 3 images, including 1 disssembled S80

Pete: Definitely 80 or 90 series. 28-41 parts book lists Gr.11.925 4091396 1936-1940 90 series and 1938 80 series. 4091395 fits 39 series 80 only. Don't know what the difference is; but, I seem to recall the one in a 39 90 series I owned years ago had a less rectangular shape. Maybe a couple of guys here on the forum who own an 80 or 90 series can compare this picture to the one in their car. It would seem logical the pictured lens is for a 39 80 series as this is what Dave owned. Ann Bell is listing one on her site as fitting an 80 series. It looks identical to yours. Hope this is of some help.

I knew the answer to this one, but it's already been answered Definitely not a 39.

I get so much help from you folks, I try to give a litle back when I can.
