Re: Production Numbers
Hi Badger,
You're right, most.S/W. Cabriolets had indented firewalls.
However, mine is a farely early 68C, and yes, with the flat firewall...
I'm no.expert, but it seems to me that in early 31, (when the order came in to get the fuel shut-off away fromthe passenger's knees) was when the slant windshield cowls came in as well. So since the Briggs S/W Cabby cowl-assembly jigs could probably accommodate both old and new firewalls, it seems that they must have just used up all the flat ones they had on hand first. No waste that way...
It seems that I may have some kind of transition-period variant (a bit of an odd-ball?) with a mix of early/late shocks, and both type brake rod 'anti-rattlers', on the same car. It also has the painted mirror bracket.
The.Cabriolet Club has the best stats, natch, and their roster includes at least one flat-firewall 68C with a higher body # than mine.
Hope there's one at Hershey!
John
