28 Canadian Sport Coupe Top Material Samples
 

Does anyone know of someone that has samples of the materials used for the top and upholstery for a 1928 Canadian Sport Coupe.

I know they are different from the America cars. I called and E-mailed one Canadian suppier but I'm had no responce. They must be closed due to Covid.

I saw a posting of an original car from New Zealand that showed the cloth.

Thanks for any leeds.

I have seen photos of the original fabric . However never seen the real thing and never heard of any one finding original fabric. My Sports coupe had a LB top spray painted dark grey and then flexed with back -It looked pretty close to the original photos but of course not original

Without photos, I wouldn't even know where to start looking. The Ford USA models used a tan whipcord cloth with a rubberized finish to water proof. It isn't reproduced anywhere and likely never will be. Most folks used the Haartz material that Le Baron Bonney provided for so long or they used vinyl topping that was similar to the fake leather that some of the later 1929 models came with.
