39 trunk handle question
What year are the two trunk handle bases? One says Deklite and one does not. One has two mounting studs and one has four. The handles fit both.

Re: 39 trunk handle question
The four bolt base is 1938, the two bolt base is 1939. The 1939 also has a painted ring with an extra shade for the license lite lens at the top, the 1938 has a stainless oval ring.

Re: 39 trunk handle question
They are the same - just the position is different.
The coupe handle has a longer shaft than a sedan. Deklite seemed to be stamped only on the bases for the USA. The export ones from Canada that came down here to New Zealand did not have that stamping. Last edited by swoopNZ; 12-20-2014 at 03:12 PM. |
