is Model A 5 window improper HOT ROD english??

Well I guess you could, except it is a model A that they filled the rear windows on, making a 3 window abortion

 

Ya, I know. I just think that making an a into a three window makes it look like an essex. Better off getting an essex if that's what you want.

 

I love when these threads get tons of replies and an actual tech question gets lost. Easier to bitch than know something.

 

Actually Doc, it's a 7 Window Super Deeluxe Hardtop Roadster!

Look closely at the photograph below and you'll see, there are seven window openings. However, since none of them have roll up glass, by the definition given in this thread, it must be a roadster. To access the rumble seat in a lesser roadster, the passenger must step up on the fender etc. What makes my roadster 'Super Deluxe' is the ease of accessing the rumble seat via the hinged and swinging quarter panels. If the entire top section was made of fabric, I figure it might be a Pheaton, but since it uses only the same amount of fabric in the top as the lesser two door roadsters, it must therefore be a roadster. The 'hard' in the top comes from the plywood panel beneath the fabric section.

Look around, I'da thunk it wuz obvious you don't gotta be too smart. .

Methinks maybe both!

A shoebox, is where I store my old photographs beneath the bed.

Me too, like when somebody calls my hot rod a 'Four Door Sedan' or even worse, a street rod!

As Clark suggested, ferchrissakes forget the rulebook and call it what it is.......... an old car!!!!!

I'm with ya Doc! Unfortunately there's too many who just don't get it!

 

I mean when you think about it five window is wrong all together since all 5 windows have six windows and three windows really have four windows.

 

Model A coupe, should be all you need to say.

 

Do a google search for Rover P5b coupe

 

That's funny but but most people call the front " window " a windshield. It is just a play on words. You got 5 fingers on your hand but one of them is a thumb, so that would make it that you only have 4 fingers on your hand, except when you give someone the middle finger.
