I was at a car show today and went to ask the owner about it. I wondered if the ‘ribbed’ metal insert was installed by him, in that my previously owned 1933 sedan had the typical fabric insert? He said that a few came with the ribbed metal top. Not being one to argue, I left it with that. I have a photo I hope I can attach. I had seen the ribbed insert before and was told that they were cut from a Pontiac station wagon.

Ford didn't have the resources to stamp a full steel roof in that time frame. Budd made the very few full steel roof bodies for Ford at the time and most were truck or delivery vehicle related. More than a few street rodders have used a station wagon roof panel to close up the hole in early Ford passenger cars. The drip rails also tend to disappear.

Not most, all.

Some who buy cars from South America are led to believe that their cars' all steel tops were made that way by Ford. Absolute utter nonsense.
