WTB: 38 LaSalle Door Latch Striker Plates

[Tom Beaver]

The subject items were conspicuous by their absents from any of the boxes of parts I got with the car.  However, I now know that 37 LaSalle, 38 model 60S, and 40 LaSalle series 52 striker plates won't fit.  Other than that I haven't a clue what will fit.  The car is a coupe so I need just one pair.

Tom,

According to my 1940 Master Body Parts book, you need the striker plates from a 1938 LaSalle (any body style) or a 1938 Cadillac series 60 (NOT 60S as you discovered).   The part number, if it helps, is 4082704.

HTH,
Jeff

Jeff,
Thank you for the information.  This will certainly narrow my search.
