Is there a "coupe pillar" that is, is there is a step between the cowl and the body or is it smooth?

Re: Battery Box ‘27
You have a forged battery support which was used until August of 1928. I have one on my July of '28 Phaeton. They pop up on various Model A sales sites occasionally. I would call Bert's on Tuesday...

Re: Old Pictures
