Deluxe Roadster side curtains photos

[mcgarrett]

I would appreciate it if I could get some good closeup photos of the Deluxe Roadster side curtains installed on a car or off - whatever you have. My plan is to make my own since the cost is not in my budget. I need some good detail shots especially around closure areas, snaps, overall fit, contour, etc. if possible. At this point, anything would help. I have made some patterns, but would like to compare them with good photos of the real thing. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I am in the same position as you. Working on my 28 Roadster. I have tried for months to get good pictures or a pattern. I have designed a pattern but am not satisfied with it. Hope you have better luck than me. If I get mine done I will take pictures and post them.

You need to buy booklet "How to Restore Your Model A", Volume 6. All vendors carry this. It has reprinted the original excellent three-part article from the late 1970's/early 1980's about restoring the DeLuxe Roadster. There are photos of an original survivor DeLuxe Roadster with side curtains, as well as assembly line photos. Well worth buying the whole booklet just for these articles if you are restoring a '30-31 DeLuxe Roadster.

Marshall, thanks for the tip. I have Volumes 2, 3, and 4 but not the one you show in the photo. I'll try to get a copy of that one.

Great article that will answer many of your questions encountered while restoring your '30-31 DeLuxe Roadster. Well-written and thoroughly documented with original and restoration photos. Highly recommended!

Mike, didn't Scott have a set of these books?
