OP dwpirkeyjr Backyard Mechanic Joined: May 2008 Posts: 201 East Texas	I have seen two different ways to do the top bows of the of a 1927 Cabriolet and both are different. Does anyone own a 1927 Cabriolet that can help me with measurements or find the bow or bows?? Are bows from another model going to work???Does anyone have any measurements. I have pics of the blue one, maybe Mr. Bradford's, he sent me, not sure, and some pics of a green one, being made. Does anyone out there own a 1927 Cabriolet??????????????

One or more of those combinations should find an owner of a '27 Cabriolet in Richmond, TX. Bob has owned his for many years. The VCCA President also owns one, purchased years ago from another Texan. Might just go see Bob as Richmond is not too far from DeKalb in Texas terms. Much less than half a state away. Part of the reason I posted as I did is so both VCCA members and non-members would know that the membership database can be searched to find other members that might have something that would be of help. It is a tremendous asset to VCCA members who use it. I do frequently. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

If you can't find the number call membership services and Peter will help you. Once you are registered on the VCCA website you can see a ton of things reserved for VCCA members. One is a searchable membership database. It is fairly straight forward searching. You can also see technical articles, Back issues of G&Ds. Current issue and a lotsa other stuff. It is a major plus for VCCA members. Does that help guys? How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
