Can anyone tell me if this B-pillar is done correctly for a 1940 ford standard 2 door. Thanks Ronnie

Not only is the B pillar done incorrectly, the interior cloth is quite incorrect. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Thanks Mike and trjford, My flash on my camera is making the material look that way. It is the 15_41 for seats and A-806 for the headliner. The headliner came with the piece of seat material sewed onto the B-pillar. Could the headliner be for a deluxe? Might be for a different year. Thanks again Ronnie

The sidewall material for a 40 Ford does not have stripes. The sidewall material should meet the headliner at the line near the top of the door and window. I do not have a Tudor interior photo on this computer, but here is a link to a brochure drawing of the Fordor interior. The Ford Tudor interior would be similar. http://www.oldcarbrochures.org/NA/Ford/1940_Ford/1940-Ford-Prestige-Brochure/1940-Ford-Prestige-10-11 Tom

Thanks for the reply Tom The interior cloth sample that LeBaron Bonney sent me shows that a 40 standard coupe and the 39 and 40 deluxe models have the soild [no stripes] material on the side panels,and the 40 standard tudor and fordor sedans have the same material on the side panels as on the seats[with stripes]. I need to question them about this also. Thanks for the information. Ronnie

I do not remember stripes on the 1940 Ford interior. I think that they may have sent you 41 samples. I believe that the 40 had 2 materials available for the Ford, taupe broadcloth and taupe bedford cord. If I am wrong someone will correct me.

Ronnie, see if LB will send you a copy of their 40 tudor installation instruction sheet. That will give you an idea of what the panels look like and how they are installed. They can also send you a complete list of sample material for the tudor deluxe.

Ronnie, The interior shown in your photo is just plain incorrect. The seat material is incorrect, the side panel material is incorrect. Neither are even close to authentic in appearance. The method utilized to finish the B pillar is incorrect. The method utilized to join the ends of the windlace at the corner is incorrect. The head liner material appears to be correct but is installed quite loose. I, like others before me, would urge you to contact LB and request samples for your year and model. Respectfully, Mike Kubarth
