Plymouth Owners Club

I am seekinig the bumpers and running boards for a 1940 4dr sedan.? Anyone know where I can obtain such?

Dear John, (sent You an e-mail.)
I don?t know, if one of these has Your needed parts, but
this is my adresslist for Ply Dealers, recovered from this forum:

Monthly Hemmings motor news ( www.hemmings.com) is the most valuable help  in finding sources.

Try Andy Bernbaum?s, don?t know if they have Your parts on hand, but they have a lot of Mopar stuff! Very fast service and very friendly and reliable people! I never had problems with them in all these years, but others had when sending back unuseful parts.

Bernbaum?s auto parts   315 Franklin Street
Newton, MASS.  02158
Phone   + 617- 244- 1118         FAX   + 617- 244- 1164

You can also try Roberts or Pro Antique - got nice, fast service for a few placed orders from both:

Roberts ,  17 Prospect Street
West Newbury, MASS. 01985     
Phone (978) 363- 5407     www.robertsmotorparts.com

Pro antique Auto Parts,  50 King Spring Road,
Windsor Locks, CT 06096
Phone (860)- 623-8274   FAX (860) 627- 8061

The biggest seems to be Kanter, because it was very difficult to get a competent Clerk. Parts for my 1951 were good, minus one pair of too big exentric front end bushings, which would have been taken back by them. They had no advice on correct bushings and I preferred to  have them milled down to fit here in Germany

Kanter,   76 Monroe Street
Boonton,   NJ  07005
Phone: 973-334-9575   FAX 973-334-5423   www. kanter.com

Prices are high everywhere, all have good catalogs.

I have no own experience with the following:

(from Bill Ward): ?For whatever it is worth, my opinion is that the two best parts suppliers out there are:

NEIL RIDDLE -  (206) 285-6534 -  

Neil is a pleasure to work with and often has stuff that nobody else has.  He works hard to keep his stock fresh and he always has something new.  Neil doesn't have a website but I've never had any problem reaching him by email or by phone. ?

I have a nice front bumper for a 40 Plym, it is complete with the guards and mounting bars.
I would suggest that you contact Buckeye Rubber Products  for your running boards, they make new ones that are better than the originals....Bill

   I tried you suggestion, however, the message was returned as unsendable!

John,
You must have done something wrong in sending the email to me. I sent an email  to you regarding the '39 hup caps, which are not '39's,  that are currently on eBay, and you responded to me with no problem....Bill
