  Try Oak Bows in Pennsylvania. They have supplied top bows etc. to the hobby for years and are still in business. They are probably the supplier to LB

  Oak Bows was not LeBaron Bonney's supplier of bows.

  Be aware that usually the wooden bows require careful fitting, particularly the header bows on open cars. This is necessary to provide the close fit to the dowels, and the embedded fasteners, in some models.

  Thanks guys
The website has 2 (?) entries for 1939 convertible coupe:

1) Front Bow for 1937-1939 Ford Convertible Coupe 2 Door; Front bow with Notched Ends
2) Wood Front Bow. 2 Door Convertible Coupe

neither photo is great but 1) is black and even harder to see what a notched end means
