30 Cabriolet Questions
I have a few questions about a 30 Cabriolet 68B:
- is the hood unique? What other A’s share the same hood? - is the gas tank unique? If so, what other A’s share it? - how about the Windshield Wiper? I know that is a pretty hard to find item, is there another A or wiper that can be used/chromed to fill the spot? - I know Lebarron Bonney closing left a gap in suppliers for interiors and tops—are there any good alternatives for these items for a 68B? Thanks!

What kind of wiper is correct for your car? If it is potmetal then it cant be rechromed sucessfully. If potmetal is bad anywhere they dont like to even attempt to chrome plate. You also should not replate an original windsheld frame. They rust from the inside fast. You are wise to buy a top quality original from a dry area and have that plated. Keep in mind the back side is painted flat black originally. |
