Default '35 / '36 Wind deflectors

Any of you guys ever seen these?
I'm thinking they gotta be rare.
Box states 35 / 36 closed car.

I have seen these before and there may be a difference between 35 and 36 Fords even if they may fit both years.

If you want more details contact Don Rogers who has factory type drawings of both 35 and 36 Fords wind deflectors.

My 38 Zephyr had something like them only more oval. The cool thing was when you rolled the window down about one inch the top was still in the door but the front edge would be open so it would work like a wing window inceasing airflow. Tim

The accessory ones for the 1939 Mercury 2 & 4 Doors are the same as your Zephyr and quite rare

The pair on ebay are not Ford but rather, Casco, an early after-market parts manufacturer.

The Casco ones aren't the ones I was referring to in my previous post. Those (1935-39 Bob Drake product) can be seen on eBay at this link:

You're welcome. I posted since I was curious about how they are mounted.
