Looking for '39 LaSalle Parts

[revgawright]

Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm getting Sally ready for the first show of the season on May 25. There are a few missing parts needed for my 5019-A. If anyone has some of these they'd be willing to part with, I'd be interested:

My LaSalle is almost complete but in unrestored contidition. There are a few cosmetic items to take care of. I would definitely be interested in a jack as mine was missing when I purchased it and also the tool kit that came with it.

One button on the dash (the starter) is in bad shape, and I'd like to replace it.

I have a missing chrome piece on the passenger side (very small piece that goes between the front door and the hood â€" only a couple of inches long). a

The ash trays and their frames that are built into the rear seat are totally rusted away.

The passenger side sun visor is missing.

Need the radio antenna that is built into the running boards.

Finally, the gentleman I bought the car from converted the headlights to sealed beams. I like things original stock and so am looking for the internal circuitry, reflector,  and lenses for the headlights.

I guess that’s about all I can think of at this time.

Please let me know what any of you have available and how much you’d like to have for each part.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Gary

Glad to hear you are improving your rare LaSalle.

I have emailed reply contacts for your item requests. Personally I would choose the fun alternative which is to walk around at Hershey with a placard on your back and chest.

Great idea Chuck! And I'm just crazy enough to try it!

Bruce Berghoff makes the running board antennas. Also, there should be a recent post about the starter button. The short piece will also fit 39/40 Buick (I think.)
