Outer door handles

[mightymites54]

I need a set of outer door handles for my 1953 Buick Special 2dr post.
I call Bob's Automobilia and he said said that he wasn't sure if his handles would fit my car?
The handles he has on his web site look just like mine, and he says they will fit 51-53. I called to order them, then he tells me they definitly fit a convertible and a 2dr hardtop, but he wasn't certain they would fit mine. I guess I could always just order them and try them, if they don't fit I could send them back. But they are $100, and that is a hastle.

I have searched on Ebay and searched high and low for a set.

If anyone knows were I might find a nice pair I would greatly appreciate it!!

THANKS, Chris

I would think they are non-generic, and 'one size fits all' Chris, but a reference check of the original Buick part numbers, and model applications would certainly provide a definet answer !!

Thank you for responding to my post.

Well, I called Bobs Automobilia again. He said he knows for a fact that the handles he has will not fit my car!??

I'll keep looking. I'm running outta options though. My car will be back the body shop soon and I guess I'll have to put my old crappy door handles back on until I can find some.

I can't believe nobody makes aftermarket handles for a 1953 Buick 2dr special??

If anyone knows of were I might find a pair.. Please let me know!!!

Thanks again!
