Looking for 1938 convertible-sedan trunk hinges.
I’ve heard these were being reproduced at one time….
Anyone have information??

As always, thank you in advance!

You might check with Karl Wescott at Wescottsauto.com. I did not see them in his catalog, but he may know where to find them. Also check with barnfind08 or Little Dearborn Auto Parts in MN, they may have NOS parts.

I do not make them. There was a thread some time ago referencing a vendor that showed up at Hershey that might make them.

The 1937/38 Body Parts List shows the same trunk hinges are used on 1937 and 1938 convertible sedans, p/n's 78-748150 and 78-748151. There is a pair currently listed on E-bay if you would be interested, https://www.ebay.com/itm/32521948014...4AAOSwULxinU7N
