I thought I recognized those pistons and roads in the background. I was not snooping at "things". Am just aware of background in pics.
My Beverly has all the original sheet metal floors. Nothing replaced or rusted thru. Its always been a west coast California car from back to 1949 in my paperwork.

And yes, those are cord pistons in the background.

In the above picture showing the drivers side kick panel can you tell me if the black on the floor is paint or undercoating spray? Also are those pistons n rods from the Cord engine in the background? Thanks.

Being the drivers side there really isn't room for a map pocket.
Glad to be of help. The more we share the more things overlap and the more we all learn. Hope to see you in Auburn in the future. I hope to make it back one more time.

It has a pleated interior with the map pocket in the RHS cowl kick panel.
To see more pictures of this remarkable survivor check out,
The Fate Of Sleeping Beauties web site.
The details of the map pocket are pretty well all there.

It sure appears to be painted a gold color but... The handles were chrome along with those tiny metal strips.. BTW those strips are impossible to find as they are no longer made or reproduced....

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
Cheers,
Terry
PS The attached picture comes from a Cord sales brochure. It is interesting to note that map pockets are shown in the back doors without any in the front doors however these drawings have been referred to in print by others as pretty basic.
All of the cars with pleated interiors that I have seen in Google Images do not have map pockets in the doors.
I look forward to comments from others.

I have no real idea of how they were originally supplied.
Perhaps Michael R in Germany can let us know how his very original Westchester was set out with map pockets?
