trickydicky43richard Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Everybody, To finish my car resto can anybody help me out with 4 original interior door handles? Happy to negotiate fair price for handles in good condition. Alternatively any leads to possible sources would also be appreciated.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I have two window cranks that appear NOS. They have the DPCD logo and a number 3081 inside. They have a brown plastic handle with concentric rings.They go on a 3/8" shaft. I don't know what they're for but they're $50 plus shipping.Even if you don't need them I'd appreciate it if you or somebody else could ID them for me.

trickydicky43richard Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 G'Day Dave, Thanks your reply,Thought I'd let you know I'm right for window cranks I've been lucky enough to find four of those.I'm really trying to get hold of the correct inside remote door opening handles. By the way your window cranks in the pics are a different style to mine, mine have a ribbed pattern with big deco swivel knobs and on the back I think the number reads 3791.Thanks once again, I appreciate your help,Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 You helped me more than I helped you, Rich, but I suppose it's nice just to get a response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky43richard Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks Dave, I should add that many people read my posts and I get no replies or assistance, it is nice that rare people like yourself take the trouble to try and assist a fellow enthusiast,I really appreciate it. On one occasion I had 57 views with not one offer of help from any AACA members!!Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This is a ratty interior on a Royal coupe. It's hard to see the door handle but maybe somebody will get an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaflash8 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've always wanted a 1939 Chrysler, but the dash completely turns me off. How in the World do you fix that busted up plastic on the dash? My grandfather had a 1939 Chrysler Royal when I was a boy. I remember when it was only 6-7 years old the plastic on the glove box and speedometer was all cracked up. Has anybody ever tried to reproduce these plastic dash pieces? I think the dash is why the '39 Chrysler is so rare among collectors today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky43richard Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks Dave, Also those handle pics where very helpful, can I have your permission to use them? Do you own this old 39 Chrysler, I'd love to find a similar one for dash parts too.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky43richard Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi Dynaflash and G'day from Down under, re plastic dashes, I didn't realize, my Aussie built car dash seems to be of metal construction, perhaps I should check. I certainly know interior door handles must have been fragile cause their like hens teeth to find and I need four of them.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratty pic was on line and I suppose Keiser's was too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 French Lake Auto Parts is one of two huge salvage yards here in Minnesota. I recall that they had a an Imperial coupe (I think it was '39) when I was last there a few years ago. It's probably a long shot, but perhaps it's worth a try:http://www.frenchlakeautoparts.com/The other yard is Windy Hill Auto Parts:www.windyhillautoparts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Rich, their website is down, so I called them myself and asked about your handles. I'm sorry, but no luck, there. There's a couple more vintage salvage yards mentioned on this site:http://all-about-detail.blogspot.com/2011/08/where-are-best-salvage-yards-in-america.htmlI've had people ask me why yards like these can still have anything left after all of these years. There is a slow but steady flow of old cars to these yards still because of various reasons. Occasionally people buy properties with old cars left behind and simply want them gone. While others are frequently giving up on old "lifetime" projects, many of which have been disassembled to the point where their owners are embarrassed by them and prefer to not suffer the scrutiny of trying to sell them outright. It seems that the first thing unrealistic idiots do when attempting to hot rod an old car is throw away the drivetrain and interior. Sadly, it seems there is never a shortage of botched hot rods and ,worse yet, rat rods.
