Topic: 1939 Convertible Coupe vent handle


shumburg    -- 12-04-2022 @ 6:40 AM
  I'm putting together my dad's '39 convertible coupe. He has 3 different vent cover lever assemblies in the pile of parts and I can't see where any of them attach. If anyone has the correct one that they could sell I'd appreciate it, or take a picture of it installed so I know what I'm looking for.
Thank you!
Steve

  hi Steve
can you post a few photos of what you have,?
the handle should have a treaded end, were it get attached to the vent lid cover,
in the car it is hard to photograph, by where it is,

  Thanks for the reply! I figured it out though yesterday and got one of them to fit. I appreciate my dad leaving me with so many parts and I'm enjoying this project, but it's like mixing the pieces for 2-3 jigsaw puzzles to make 1 picture.

  Thanks. The paint shop did a terrible job trying to make a Folkstone Gray. I ended up with 2 gallons of paint that were a light green, and their second try was an olive drab. So, I mixed them together, added some left over brown and got sort of a sage color. Thanks again for your help.
