No, Sport Coupe tops do not fold - landau irons are just cosmetic.

That is a sweet cabbie - my favorite color scheme and even sweeter now that you have the bars correct. Always wanted one - maybe some day...

Hi TerryO,

Yup, it looks kinda the same, but it is a different car. The green one in the photo that I posted is (was) my Dad's car (and mine before that) before he sold it several years ago.....and, now of course, he would like to buy it back again (He knows where it is in storage) Love the green colors......

Jwilli - I think your Cabbi looks great now with the landau irons in the original configuration. ...and most admirable that you are able to take everyones' comments as constructive.... Luckily we live in a free country where everyone is entitled to their own personal feelings about their cars......so whatever floats your boat, is what is right for you.

....and as for me, I too prefer my landau irons in the factory original configuration.

Brad in Maryland

Jwilli,

Thank you for not taking offense at my comments. Now I can sleep better knowing at least one more set of landau irons is in the correct position (if I can get this darned pet peeve to move over and stop hogging the covers.)

Bill, you will find some humor in this reply. Looked at the pictures taken the day I brought the car home. Note that the irons on the driver's side are correct. On the passenger side wrong. If the original pictures were of the driver's side would there have been a peeve? If both sides were shown would we have had half a peeve?

Peeves are the perfect pets. You don't have to feed them, walk them or clean up after them. They don't bite, tear up the furniture or dig up the yard. I "SLEEP" with my wife - dunno know what you and the dog do.

Half a PEEVE is what you do in your SKIVIES, then you make it to the pot, for the other HALF.

I just noticed in the most recent edition of the Model A News that there are three Sport Coupes and two of them have the irons the wrong way. Pretty unreal.
