Hi-
I recently acquired a 1936 Buick. I am having trouble locating body parts. Specifically for the doors. There is a guy here in Greensboro, NC who is recommended on this site for the wooden components. However, he is unsure if the doors for the Chevrolet and the Buick are compatible.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Peer

I am sure the Buick doors are not the same but some of the inner hardware is.
Also is the 1936 Buick a Special, Century, Roadmaster or Limited?

Bob's Classic Auto glass may have provided some of the best help yet in cross referencing the car with Chevrolet... at least enough to order replacement glass... :) I do have the old glass as templates so I can match it up and they have a 7 day return policy if the glass does not fit. Enough of an advertisement for them... :)
The meat of this is... in case anybody else asks... The car is a 1936 Buick Special Model 48 Victoria Coupe. The side glass cross matches with the 1936 Chevrolet 36-1001 Master Deluxe or Coach 2 door sedan. I am hopeful that if the glass fits the wood shop can use their template for the Chevrolet to match my side doors... :) crossing fingers.
