Can you reverse them side to side by swapping the top pivot bracket? 3. All passenger cars are the same? Coupe or sedan? Im sure the open cars are differant.

Conversely, except for some minor cosmetic attempts to improve the looks of it the 38 was identical to the 37. You just can't polish a t--d. They failed. Thats why the 39 was so different from the 38. Is too! Accordingly, I would assume the the quarter windows would be different. Having said that the information will now come out of the woodwork saying I'm wrong. Just wait a second or two. Charlie

He's been trying to polish his '41 for quite a while now. VCCA Member 43216 Save a life, adopt a senior shelter pet. 1938 HB Business Coupe 1953 210 Sedan
