Can anyone tell me if a 39 Buick headlight trim ring will fit my car? They look like they will fit. I don't have any original ones to compare.

Thanks much

The Buick, Pontiac and Olds generally seem to have larger diameter headlights. I have both Chevy and Pontiac/Buick NOS lenses for 1938 and the Chevy are much smaller.

Best to get measurements and compare to your bucket. It will be very obvious like an inch diameter difference. If it's close give it a try.

There are two parts to the 1938 head light rim. A wider painted rim and a thin chrome (stainles steel) trim. They fit 1937 and 1938 Chevrolet passenger cars only.
