Did all 35 Fords have a beltline pinstripe? Single or double? Went all the way around the trunk? Thanks !

Can't comment on passenger cars, but the commercial vehicles had a single pinstripe, about 1/8" wide, 5/8" below the beltline, all the way around the vehicle. It took an upward turn about 1/2" from where it meets the grill. In 36 it was in the center of the beltline, not below it.

The original pin stripe specifications for the U.S. 1935 model passenger cars was a 3/32" wide stripe 5/8" below the belt line around the entire body with a slight curve upward at the front edges of the hood side panels. The colors of the stripes were either bright apple green or medium bright poppy red depending on the main body color.

My '36 has an Apple Green P.S, body color is black. The car has been repainted once, in 1961, I did the pin stripe using a "Beuger pinstripping" tool.
Since my car is a '36 the stripe continues across the grille shell from the hood side panel, terminating at the grille stainless trim.
