Talking Welcome to CO

Luis, nice to have you here. Where are you located? http://www.fusick.com/ is a good parts source? What kind of parts are you looking for mechanical, body, etc. The earlier the car the harder it is to find parts. You might have to search the collector car wrecking yards. There are several around the US but can be hard to find. I have a 48 Olds and finding parts has been difficult mostly any kind of body part.

Welcome. You might also consider Kanter for various mechanical parts. Body parts will be next to impossible to find unless you find a car in a salvage yard.

BTW, I moved your threads. Hopefully you will get more coverage in the Newbie forum and the Parts Wanted forum. Good luck!

Welcome to CO. We have a few fat fender guys and one other with a 30's car similar to yours. A couple more of us have 40's cars.

I hope you find what you are looking for. Unfortunately, I don't know of any companies that do reproduction trim items for pre-war Oldsmobiles. You can get numerous mechanical parts from Kanter and Fusicks; however, they don't carry body panels and trim items. You might search around to see if a Chevy part would fit your Olds with modification. Other than that you will have to be scrounging around in salvage yards. Good luck!

In those years Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick shared many body parts. GM printed a guide for cross reference body parts for several years of there cars. I have seen them on e-bay. try searching there. I typed in vintage auto wrecking yards in my computer and after much searching found some parts for my 1948 Olds. I have not found anyone the has the sill plates. I am now looking for pictures so I can have some made. E-bay often has small parts like headlight trim, door handles, chrome, even some body parts, you just have to search every day to find what your looking for.
