1937 Olds Coupe street rod project

[Dolly R]

would anyone know where to look for a passenger vent window frame. When I purchased my Olds It was just a rusty shell with a alot of spare parts. Like two drivers vent windows lol. I have tried the obvious parts stores and eBay with no luck. Anybody have any suggestions?

First, join National Antique Olds Club www.antiqueolds.org  and start a "parts wanted" ad.

 

Then research what GM cars were built on the same platform and look there. I think Pontiac and possibly Chevrolet or Buick used the same Fisher Body shell as your '37.

And third, lose the belly button motor and put in something like a 455 Olds. 😉

Thanks for the info. I had a 454 but I had to sell it to pay taxes. I wish I had your money, then I could be more selective in the engine I build

Comment on Rocketraider's post....

 

It may not even matter if it comes out of a 2 or 4 door.

 

Try Dave Tacheny out of Champlin Minnesota,  he parts out Buick's and would probably have one.

I realize this post is over a year old but if you are still on from time to time and are still looking I have one from a 38 4 door you can have. You will have to see if it is the same as on the coupe - I suspect it is.

The poster last visited, 9 days after the post, in May `21. The 4dr front door garnish will not fit a coupe.

Thank you for the good advice people. I will not be using this sight because I am a seventy year old woman doing all the work myself on building my olds. I do not appreciate the disrespect I received from “Rocket Man”. And I use the term Man loosely.
