And I did install a button out of a 50 Merc in my 40 Ford back in 1959, Am now restoring that 40 back to original using a Carpenters button. You have a great looking 39 Deluxe coupe.
I went through at least four and all were crap. Finally started hoarding NOS and NORS. For my restorations, I simply change the plastic button so it is correct for the respective vehicle.

Also, besides the repop buttons being poop, the "start" is stamped so ridiculously light, it's a joke.
