Cabriolet door handle changeover dates?

[Clem Clement]

I have a '30 cabby with the traditional lever handles. Sometime Cabby's changes to the lift-up handle. I've considered my car as a late 30. The doors trim has no finger grips (I'm not near the car to give the motor #)

My 30 Cabriolet VIN# A3549326 (June 1930) has the finger grips on top of doors and handles push down to open. I really don't know that much of my cars history so who knows what is original or not. The only thing I know is it makes me smile ear to ear when driving down the road.

You need to be more clear on what you are asking.

All cabriolet have scroll handles.
At some point they switched from chrome plated brass to stainless.

There are variations in the handle between manufactuerers and years. This is covered in Judging guidelines.

my cab, 3.29 million, has a round speedo, lift up inside door handles, chrome door pulls, and was stored, in pieces, in a garage since 1962. I bought it in 1994, Bronson Yellow and seal brown. Hope this helps.

the early 68B had lift inside door handles. the late 68B had twist handles just like the 68C does. and no door pulls. I think what he is asking is when was that change over, happened it was sometime in late 30.

A friend has a late late 31 coupe with lift up door handles
