you are joking... right...


do you need the whole head lights or just the replacement bulbs to fit in the reflectors????/

as for the radiator...   there are a lot of radiator manufacturers   .. you can send them your old radiator... they should be able to duplicate it...

in los angeles... there is US radiator corp,   and  modine also...    since you did not say where on the planet you are.. i gave you the ones in my area...

and.. you are better off over at hemmings.com      there will be more suppliers there with stuff for old cars there..


there are so many old car swap meets that might have what you want... like the monthly rose bowl swap meet and another at the pomona fair grounds just east of los angeles...    there is another one in long beach veterans stadium..

perhaps some one will post links to the proper dates for the antique car versions...

there also was a magazine called DRIVE...   they had driveonline.com... i have not seen a copy in a while.. they had most of the swap meets and car gatherings listed by area...  

Hello,

in first place, thank you for your answer.
I´m from Portugal.

I need the whole head lights.
As for the radiator i need a original one from this car, the one i have is from a Ford T.

Do you know some web sites that i can look for the parts i need?

Once again tank's for your answer.

i did post a web site..

that you will need...

http://www.hemmings.com/  they will mail their hemmings motor news worldwide... ads from every supplier that you need will be there..

whats really funny...   my dad had a 28 chevy convertible when he moved out to los angeles from new orleans in 1933...  mom and i were  watching kcet here in los angeles... there was a old piece of footage running.. narrated by groucho marks describing hollywood in the mid 30's...   they were showing the corner of hollywood and vine at 5 pm.. .. mom said to me...   5 pm.. hollywood and vine..  your father would pass that corner every day on his way home and turn right there... within seconds on the screen... was dad in his 28 chevy ... yellow with black fenders turning the corner...  talk about strange...    sure felt good for mom...  dad had been gone about 15 years when we saw that..  dad drove that car all the way thought the war...  he worked at a paint store here in hollywood...  they had just received a huge order of paint thinner and naptha for a furniture manufacturer just as pearl harbor happened...  the order was cancelled .. he used it to run his car during the entire war...  

Once again, thank you for your help.

It´s very nice that the memories with this old cars are still alive today.

All the best for you.
