IT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE ANOTHER REAR WINDOW FLAP, WITH AS LARGE A WINDOW AS POSSIBLE, TO USE WHEN DRIVING

LOOKS GREAT!!!!
ONE SUGESTION WHILE YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS WORK, IT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE ANOTHER REAR WINDOW FLAP, WITH AS LARGE A WINDOW AS POSSIBLE, TO USE WHEN DRIVING(MAKES VISIBILITY A LOT BETTER). I DID THIS WITH MY PHAETON, IT HAS REMOVEABLE REAR WINDOW FLAP ALSO, I KNOW ITS NOT CORRECT, BUT IT SURE MAKES DRIVING LESS OF A NAIL BITING TIME WHEN IN TRAFFIC.

Webmaster's 1936 Cord Cabriolet gets a new Top was created by Bill Hummel
One month and 2300 miles later, my Cord Cabriolet gets a new top! Tom Richardson of Richardson Interiors in Wichita, Kansas did the top and reworked all three wooden bows. Stan Gilliland of Auburn/Cord Parts chromed the Top Irons.
Here's some pictures. The old car is getting better a little bit at a time. I'm not ... but it is.
