A friend owns the '36 Coupe pictured below. Look at the two square, WOODEN strips that form a "V" directly outboard of the torque tube. They're definitely ancient........NOT of recent application.

A friend of a friend that is pretty-well versed on things "1936 Ford" said that these wooden strips were delivered on all 1936 closed cars, and possibly on open cars also. Does anyone have any more information as to what their purpose may have been, or any additional details? Subsequent picture examples anyone may have would be wonderful. DD
