  In the attached pix you will see where the pin stripe is located on my 36 5 win cpe. All of the stripes were located in the same area..
The apple green strip on my car is not original, the car has been repainted once. I did the stripe with a stripping tool in 1962. The stripe is approximately 1/8" wide.

  According the original 'SK' (assembly instruction drawings) the '36 pin stripe was 3/32" in width and commenced with a slight curve right behind the stainless steel molding at the opening of the grille in the upper corner and continued rearward and around the body 5/8" below the belt line. Original surviving examples and photos from Ford's archives suggest that in some instances the upward curve at the beginning of the striping on the grille side panels was left off and the stripe was a straight line at those points.
