Default Re: Newb with '31 slant window cabriolet

Hello again, that apple green is a deluxe wheel color to match pinstripe, also used on later solid black paint scheme .Mine is a late 31 roadster, the cabriolet roll up side windows will come in handy if caught in sudden rain storm, side curtains a little leaky and time consuming to install ! And welcome to the Barn

Yeah, I learned that quickly. Probably should have had a little more urgency in my search efforts.

Thanks, I discovered that when I joined MAFCA last year but never looked into it further. I'll check it out again.

Newb question - which is the Elkpoint and which is the Kewanee?

edit - after a bit of looking I believe the Kewanee green is the main body color and Elk Point the darker green?



Thanks,

Ed

Very nice car.
Great place for a newbie to start, rather than bringing home baskets of loose parts.
When the tires wear out, consider switching to blackwalls :-)

But it hasn't stopped me from bringing home baskets of loose parts for a second one!
