bhemi Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 My '37 coupe came with no trunk support. My understanding is that the '37 has one support and the '38 has two. I have looked online at pictures and it looks like the '38 style continued into the early '40's. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvelde Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 ‘39 coupes have two supports, not sure if they were the same for those years or not. If I get to the garage where my car and manuals are, I will look up the part numbers to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhemi Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 My hope is to find a set of the '38 supports and use them in my car. It's resto-mod so I want to be era correct but not 100 point correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick looks fine for 39 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 1938,39 and 40 have 2 trunk lid supports and they are interchangeable between these years. I looked at my Buick Master Body Interchange Manual and I had difficulty making sense of it. I do have 1 coupe trunk support that is possibly a 37, but if anybody could supply a picture it would be helpful. Thanks Leif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick looks fine for 39 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I have pictures, including the set mounted on my 39 convert so you can see how they're installed. Can I text them to you? It would be easier for me. Thanks Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhemi Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I sent you cell # and email address Leif. I'd like a measurement of them closed and extended to share with my fabricator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
