TheHotRodBuick Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Does anyone know what the measurements are on the lens of a 32 Buick? They are curved glass not flat . It seems to be 10.25 inches but I want to get the exact size. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Nelson Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 They made unique len's for the Buicks. Left side and right side. Find out if somebody converted to 12 volt seal beams and try to buy them. I have a 35-58 and I have a friend who converter to 6 volt seal beams. So much better than the. originals. So he had them off to the side. I bought both sides to match mine. I sent both of my reflecters out to replate them. Eliminated the silver coating and the new stuff is like new. With the original len's as spares and original's, I should be good for another 50 years. Now you can get 6 volt LED bulbs so you can get much better illumination. Snyders auto parts for model 'A' Fords have them in their catalog. I got caught one evening after sundown but they made a bright light to safely drive home.. the hardest is finding the glass len's. Welcome to evening driving now the time changed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32buick67 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Paul might be able to help by measuring what he has on hand. He has been very knowledgeable and helpful and he has many original and new parts (he makes new bronze parts and chromes them also).

Robert Engle Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The lenses on 32 Buicks are common for both sides. The outer shell for the lamps are left and right for the badge bar attachemnt. If you want brighter lamps, I recommend converting to LED's. there are a number of threads on this subject. Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
