    In a nutshell, I have no idea what it is. I assume from the style it's mid to late 30's, and the v8 emblem on the hubcaps that it might be a Ford product, but other then that I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas? The front grill was not forthcoming with a helpful emblem or anything like that.

  3. Damn I thought it looked weird. Anything that gave it away it wasn't an original convertible?

  6. Ok so I wasn't crazy that the top looked really off. AH well, so much for a possible deal.

  7. It's a Cabriolet, not a roadster... Fixed windshield, roll up windows...
     
  8. Just out of curiosity, what they asking for it?
     
  9. Good question. Tried calling but never got a reply. Will try again tomorrow if you want to know.

    Not that green one. It is a coupe with the roof cut off. See the curve on the backside of the windshield posts?

    Also look at the door tops on the real cabriolet, they have additional body lines that the green one doesn’t,
