Topic: 1938 FORD CABRIOLET BODY SIDE MOULDING LENGTH


V8ford1938@gmail.com    -- 08-24-2020 @ 11:35 AM
  I am in the process of restoring a 1938 Ford convertible cabriolet. Can someone tell me the correct length of the stainless steel trim piece that starts at the door and heads to the trunk. When I took them off the car one is longer then the other. Not sure if they are supposed to be this way or not.

Thanks,

Tom

  I can't answer your question, but it would be easier to get the correct answer if you use the Ford name for your body style. Ford called the cars "Convertible Coupe" (with a rumble seat) and " Convertible Club Coupe" (with a back seat).

Both sides should be the same length.

  Thanks for clarifying the correct body style. I have a convertible club coupe.

  I just measured the quarter stainless on our 38 convertible coupe; it is 52 3/4''.... the 38 deluxe business coupe is; 67 3/4''....don't know if the club coupe would be same as a conv. coupe or not.....hope this helps....love the 38s...JRP WVa
