Title: 1939-40 Buick Special Conv
Post by: sammons on January 21, 2020, 08:47:05 PM: Got a Call from my buddy Cheech, he has a driver who's father is working on a 1939 Buick Special Convertible. Fella said 39-40 same. He is missing the top header bow (i presume wood) and Left vent (wing) window assembly.

Trying to help find parts or leads. I found a company Wescott's Auto parts out of Oregon and a Buick forum forwarded to him.

Any leads appriciated! Thanks

It sounds like he has been working on it for years, so.... ;D I think the fella lives in Washington St. I looked up Hemmings and E-bay also, nothing as of lastnight anyway.

Thanks again!

I think it was '38 or '39 they Buick had the big straight 8. My friend ran on in a dragster that still holds a record. (probably because he held it when the class was eliminated)
