Best Reproduction 37 V8 Trunk Handle?
In my searching around I see various handles for various prices. Some are stainless others chrome.
I'd like your opinion on which is the best quality offering... Thanks! Brent |

I'd go with stainless if I were you. - no worries about pitting. I'm pretty sure the originals were stainless....> https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-NO...Zcbj7Z&vxp=mtr

the originals were stainless. Check around and you may find an NOS one or a good used one. They are not that rare. Try Michael at Third Gen Auto.

I have to say, John aka FlatHeadCoupe, hooked me up with a beautiful handle assembly. He was prompt in his communication and quick to ship (it was packed well, too). Thanks so much! Now, I need some Model A interior handles, anyone? |

I broke the shaft on my 35 trunk handle removing it. I do not like the looks/quality of the repop handles. I found a NOS latch, but will probably try and repair handle.
