Both organic..........

 

are you going to keep the "leather"? if not you have to fill the nail slots.

 

heres a picture;

 

oops wrong one;

 

So it's just a leather roof? I guess I'll never know what mine was then. Just got a 31 vicky but the roof was cut out by previous owner.

I was just curious b/c everyone keeps asking me.

Thanks!!

The Model A Vicky bodies were all built by Murray Body Co. for Ford. They were delivered to Ford and installed on the ch***is alongside the body styles manufactured by Ford.

The Vic bodies came in two styles. The steel back had a top insert much like a coupe or sedan. The leatherback has unfinished steel and a wood and wire framework to support the fabric top.

My avatar is a leatherback.

Hope this helps answer the question in the op.

Can a blindback be a leatherback?
