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


Great idea! Now why didn't I think of that!

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.

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.
