Parts Needed

Pete

Hi, my name is Pete I have a 1937 Hudson Terraplane (Street Rod) I am looking for at least 1 locking Tee handle assembly with key for trunk lid, also need rear door window crank assembly with window handle, any help or info would be very appreciated. Thanks

This one has seen better days, but it's a start.  I'd check Ebay from time to time.  Of course, all the pits could be filled, and the handle re-chromed.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-1937-HUDSON-REAR-DECK-LID-TRUNK-HANDLE-36-37-30S-30S-VTG-EARLY-ORIGINAL/283866294176?hash=item4217bfe7a0%3Ag%3AIcAAAOSw2bReUcO%7E&LH_Auction=1
I think a locksmith could re-key this, and you might be able to find a NOS blank cylinder and have it keyed to match the one in the other handle.

The one on the other side is all broke, like someone hit a screwdriver in the cylinder to maybe bust it. Being the car has 2 separate handles I took the other one to a lock smith, and he made me a key then said the lock turns but the inner are broke so it will not lock (then had no clue how to repair it)  Thanks for the info.  Pete

A HET member on his street rod used new Overhead garage door handles with locks and they are all chromed and new , just don't have the lines on handle.

Pete

Thank you for the info, I will check them out, I have the original Tee handles on the trunk - one broken with no cylinder and the other no key and trunk will not lock, I could live with the pits but not with it unlock. Thanks again    Pete

Have you tried e-mailing some of the vendors who advertise in the White Triangle News?  Include a photo of the handle if you do.  A lot of the guys have boxes of used Hudson parts but have no idea what the parts fit, because they don't know the earlier models.  

Pete

I have not (never heard of them) but will look them up, I thank you for the info. Pete

I have found the rear window assembly I was surching for. Thank you all for your help.

Try doing a search on previous threads on this subject. 36 and 37 handles are different.

Thanks for the info, I ordered the garage Tee locking handles, I had to drill the mounting holes a little oversize and file the edges, and they installed easily, look great and lock.
