That drawing came out of the 1940 Body Parts Catalog. I posted one in another post a couple of months ago. If you need it, search in this Forum for it.

Bill, where did you get that copy of the convertible top info? I'd like to have one for my '40.

39Ken, You are of course correct in that cars, other than Ford, offered power assisted convertible tops in 1939. I made the mistake of thinking that because this is a Ford V8 site and the thread was in direct regard to 1940 Ford tops, we were on "subject" and referring to Fords. So what make of car is his '39?

Kube, Minor correction. Many '39 cv's had power assisted tops. Just not Ford... ;>)) I've seen Bills "39" and it is a beauty! Ken

Bill (wnsteed), If you have vacuum hoses on your '39 convertible coupe, then something is amiss as NO '39 convertible coupe had a power assisted top assembly.

Attached you will find a copy of the 1940 Ford Motor Company convertible top parts list. I had forgoten I had the parts list and drawing showing the entire top assembly until just recently.

The vacuum hoses on my '39 conv cpe, which has basically the same system as a '40 are a very heavy walled 1/4 ID rubber hose. The OD of the hose is over 5/8". The lines running from the engine compartment, through the cowl and up to their juncture with the switch and then down the quarter panel, along the door sill under the sill plate and into the rear area adjacent to the vacuum cylinders is 3/8" steel. I would venture a guess that the steel lines are 3/8" to carry added volume, similar to those used on the Columbia rear ends. I would also surmise that the heavy walled hose was used to minimize flex within the line and thereby minimizing loss of vacuum strength.. Just remembered that I have a copy of the 1940 Ford Motor conv top parts list, Bill 36 5 win delx cpe
