The stainless windshield center bar finish clips are unique to the '39 because of the V windshield. The clips from other '39 DPCD might work. I believe it would be a very difficult part to make because of the extreme radius's involved.   
I think I have an extra set (2) of the clips, I will check my parts supply. I also have a set of windshield stainless trim plus a center strip.
For everyones info, I most likely have more hard to find '39 Plym parts than anyone in the country....Bill

I've never seen any but if they're like others I'm familiar with then I imagine they wouldn't be difficult to make. If they're flat you only need something the profile of the trim to bend a strip of stainless over and trim to size, if they were vee'd I'd cut and file a form on the end of a bit of plate big enough to clamp in the vise and clamp a strip of stainless to.
Australian cars used a longer division bar which looks like it was designed to make the clips obsolete but I've never seen one used with trim.

Hello,
I am in the need for a pair of stainless windshield bar center clips. Those are the outer clips that secures the outer trim of the windshield for a 1939 Plymouth. I have been in contact with the Plymouth Doctor, Fat Fender Relics, and Moore's Antique Auto Parts. They have not been able to help. If anyone have a source for a pair of clips, please share your source.
Thanks,
