I am looking for front turn signal lights for my 1938 coupe I seen pictures of other ones that attach to the bumper I guess. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I put reproduction Harley Davidson turn signal indictors on my 39. Just had to make some "Z" brackets from some flat steel stock from the hardware store to hold them. This is similar to what I used; just change the bulbs to 6 volt. As long as you are using them for turn signals, the smaller wire size seems ok. If you are going to use them for continuous use, such as for running or parking lights, you may want to change the wiring size to a heavier wire. I had the local auto paint shop mix up some matching paint for Packard Blue and painted the light bodies.

Max Merritt has '39 Junior parking lights.

I used some small motorcycle lights on my 37 115C. Here are some photos showing how they look installed. JWL

In an earlier thread there was mention that Kanter had repro'd some fender lamp assys a few years back. James was going to check if any were still available but if they are perhaps that is another source for a more proper looking option.

On Max Merrit's website, you have to search for "Park Lights" in the Junior section to find them. Here's the website:parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~partsort

Thanks for the info I much appreciated guys. Just now starting looking for something that fits the year but open to anything.

They look great small and not to big. What year is the car?
