Kubes40 , thank you for the info . Since I was a kid on a bike dreaming about cars, the 40 ford coupe was always my favorite . I can't wait to get the book , but don't rush it . Dom

Thunder, It may be best to address your unique questions / concerns in separate posts so more folks would be likely to view them. The insulating paper within the trunk lid, as well as other places, is addressed in the book. It is by the way, about 1/8" thick. Locations of the glass date codes is also addressed.

I have a very very original 40 Deluxe Coupe with 11/39 and 12/39 dated glass that has 39 style inner structure to the trunk lid. The lid appears original to the car and is like the 40 lid shown in the photo previously posted.

In this picture of the inside of the 1939 coupe trunk lid you can clearly see the saturated felt , adhered to the middle section. This I\4 inch heavy sound deadening ,tar paper was used in various locations . Are these locations possibly going to be portrayed in the new book? Also the correct location of the Ford script / date code/ etching for the glass?

That's a picture of a '39 trunk lid. It is possible a few of these were installed on '40 Fords but that would have been in August of 1939, perhaps, PERHAPS, in to September.

The underside of the lids will be depicted clearly.

Thank you for the information. Now days you don't see to many cars left with the original running boards. On the 39 -40 coupe trunk lids, are you showing the underside inner structure differences? Or the outside?

ALL authentic running boards had a series of holes in them to allow the vulcanizing process a best adherence. I have included photos of both the '39 and '40 coupe trunk lids.
