Vintage shots from days gone by!

But i Think 37 had fixed windshield

 

??? What's to correct ? I said that it was a 1956 - - The side trim shows it very obviously, but the grille is totally different from a 55 also.

 

I don't know, Don. These were considered roadsters

 

Just to clear things up...in the USA a "removable windshield" is not part of a roadster description. They usually folded forward in a flat manner, but not removed.

 

1949 Dodge wayfarer roadster windshield did not fold down and was designated a roadster by the manufacturer. It had side curtains instead of roll up windows.

 

1950, somewhere in Iowa.

 

I dig that 57 Ford.

 

Yes, there were exceptions in that area, but not the "removable" part. That is why I said, "usually".

That is Georgia O'Keefe.

 

Sorry if we might be a bit 'hokey' down this way Daddy Don regarding strict roadster definitions , WTF would you call them then ?,,hell we even call Phaetons 'Tourers',,,a hood is a Bonnet and a trunk is a boot, a fender is a mudguard ,,,,but i do know a 32 roadster when i see one,,,,and by the way a 37 roadster dosent have a removable windscreen or a folding one,,

 

NOPE, the "Fixed" windshield model was a convertible,---With roll up windows,----Google it up!

 

Here,--I'll do it for you.

 

re ; roadster debate,,,,a pointless debate dan.
duh,,is it a rooster or a chicken.
I don't think we want the whole world going by one dictators dictionary
....drop it

 

Got that right - - Especially the dictionary part. But, some have their minds made up and don't want anyone confusing them with facts.

 

Here is a nice example, 1937 Ford Roadster - Not Convertible - In a museum collection - - and the windshield doesn't fold & it isn't removable. AND -- It doesn't have roll-up windows - - http://www.packautomotivemuseum.com/c302.html
Here is another. Same thing, non-folding windshield, non-roll-up side windows. http://www.rmauctions.com/lots/lot.cfm?lot_id=567736

 

XP300, thanks for the great non-roadster posts with actual vintage photos.

Thanks Roddy, now that you've mentioned his name, the older ganglions are starting to join up. Why did I think it was Doc's...?
Hmmm, I guess I'll have another bottle of red wine and think about it - I'm sure that'll help.
Sorry Doc if I offended you.
Cheers.
