Does the 1951 convertible frame have more bracing than a Victoria? Also does the Victoria have more bracing than a coupe?

A good way to determine if you have a convertible frame with the extra "x" bracing is to look at the overdrive solenoid. If it is a convertible frame, the solenoid requires a special extension to clear the frame. Roofless cars have always required extra bracing to ensure the the Doors would open and close correctly. "Hardtop convertibles" haven't always needed the bracing as body design caught up with styling.

Your answer for 49 and 50 is correct. 51 is different. I am not sure if the Victoria carried the heavier frame.
