Does anybody sell door seals for 37 wagons? I figured Drake's would be the one, but they seem to only do closed cars and convertibles. Is there one from a closed car that might fit, or has anybody tried the universal types?

thanks,
Pete

You might give Ed Clarke a shout, 914-834-0326. I don't want to be negative, but Ed was talking retirement, so I'm not to sure he can help. I don't remember him having many '37 parts. There is a company called Steele Rubber that may have something close to what you are looking for. Dennis Carpenter also has door seals that might be compatible to the '37.

Just checked the Steele Rubber website and it looks like they have what you need.

thanks guys. I hadn't heard of Steele Rubber before. I'm looking through their website right now and finding some good stuff.

While I have you guys here, what mirror do you run on your passenger door? I have the swan neck type on the door hinge pin, but it is in a position that I can't see from the driver's seat. I can't even tell that there is a mirror!

Completely hidden by the door post. Is there a good one that will attach to the wood of the passenger door?

On my 36 I made my own mirror stem and got it chromed.

Yes, Tex, I talked to Ed a few months ago and I knew he had closed up shop but I don't know what he did with his stock. As far as a passenger side mirror, I fabricated a sheetmetal bracket and use a mirror from Advance Auto. It bolts right up to an existing screw so I didn't have to drill any holes in my wood. The passenger side mirrors are just about useless.

Thanks again guys. I just ordered 4-5 items from Steele Rubber. And I'll make a new mirror mount soon.
