    I need the passenger side rear quarter window chrome trim for a 1940 chevy 4 door sedan. I have found one for a good price off a 1940 Buick coupe. It looks the same in the pictures. Does anyone know if it is the same.
    Thanks

    It won't fit. The Buick is a totally different size. Looks the same but they're different.

    Thanks, I'll have to cancel the order. Is there any other car that will have the same trim

    Chevs and Pontiacs were the same in 40 and I believe Olds and Buick were the same. I have spare 40 Pontiac doors for my Chev and the side window stainless is the same but the stainless down the side is slightly different. I do not have any quarter window parts..sorry. Good luck.

    Thanks, I've done sent a cancel order request on eBay. I guess I'll keep looking for a Chevy or Pontiac one.

    There is a place in the northwest called Ida's Chevy parts. They probably have them. I bought quite a few parts from there... Can't remember if they are in Washington or Oregon.....

    Yes, Pontiac and Chevy share the same body styles / windows in 1940.
