Check the "SWAP" section of this forum--plenty of Ford guys selling Ford parts on FordBarn Swap Forum.

You will have to buy new horns; those are not 1937 Ford horns.
Additionally, 1937 Ford horns are mounted under the radiator.

Hi Tony,
Yes I'm always checking the swap section. Just wanted to post some pictures to see if anyone has anything that they are not posting in the swap section. As far as the horns go, look in the 1937 ford book and they are very correct!!! They are accessory "twin electric air horns" part# 78-18700 for 1937 Ford! Very rare accessory! !! Look on page A-65 appendix K-instructions for installing accessory twin air horns!
Thanks Tony
Lorenzo

Yes I know that the stock horns are mounted under the radiator. I also have them for one of my cars. They are duals horns as well.

Thank you Jacob. I have been looking in the swap sections, but we all know that original parts for these 70 plus year old cars are hard top come by. I bought the primered one about 4 years ago and have found about 85% of the parts for it. Missing window frames. The blue one I just bought and it is about 95% complete. Just missing a few of the correct hot air heater parts.

For inspiration, here is a picture of a 1937 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan that was on display at the Golden Jubilee Early Ford V8 Nationals at Lake Tahoe in 2013.

Hi Everyone, Wow, fordenzo, you have a couple of charming cars there! I have a '36 Phaeton and I'm told there were 5,555 of them made. Good luck finding pieces and keep the photos coming.

I had a LeBaron Bonny top fitted by a reputable shop.

Lorenzo,

What hot air heater parts are you missing? I ask as I may have some leftover spares.

Hello David, I need the flex tube that attaches from the passenger register elbow up to the defroster pipe. It is the grey flex tube on your car. By the way, your car looks very nice. Also looking for the " Tonneau Heater Attachment" (78-18467) rear seat heater. It's in the 1937 Ford book page 6-15 in the accessories chapter. Actually interested in any parts you may have as I am restoring both convertibles.
Thank you,
Lorenzo
