Topic: 38 5-Window Standard Coupe

  I have an "interior" question. I have a 38 5-window "standard" coupe with a "solid seat back". I'm trying to identify how the seat material was configured with the package tray. I will be purchasing a kit but would like to see an accurately completed car or photographs of such a restoration. Heading to Saratoga in hopes to find the real thing.

  If you purchase the kit from LeBaron-Bonney they will have specific instructions on attaching the material that goes between the seat and the package shelf. As a general rule the material tacks to the back of the seat and then to the top edge of the package shelf. The edge of the material on the seat and shelf is then covered by a hidem welt. I stress that I'm talking about a general rule as Ford made changes from year to year on many interior items.

  Thanks for the advise as that is what I plan to do.
