Ford model A Door Trim

[Bustingear]

Can anyone ID this inside door trim? They are a pair and 25 1/4" long. Thanks

I think those out of a fordoor-standard. Not sure if the years changed the lengths.

Not the door trim on a '28 fordor Briggs Body. Mine are a brown color and straight. Think later years were simulated wood finish.

I see a reproduction in Snyders but they have a double point and not a single...Anyone else?

Single points are for standard fordoors and double points are for the Townsedans.

Thanks!!

Actually, the single point garnish moldings are unique to 1929 models only. The double point garnish moldings were found only on 1930 and '31 models. Because of this, they are somewhat more difficult to find a matching set, and of course, they are not being reproduced either, unlike many of the later model garnish moldings. To my knowledge, standard fordors did not have garnish moldings, but rather only the Town Sedans offered by both Briggs and Murrays (therefore two different sizes). I have a '29 Briggs Town Sedan (started life as a standard fordor, but during the restoration I was able to obtain door window and garnish moldings as well as a Town Sedan/Cabriolet/Town Car cowl section) and am now beginning the process of doing a 1929 Murray Town Sedan for my oldest daughter and her family. As for door window trim, there is a difference between the '28 leather-back fordor and later model three-window fordors (the '28 is slightly more narrow).

I am not trying to hi-jack this thread, just curious. What is the difference between a Standard Fordor Sedan and a Town Sedan cowl section? Thanks

The distinction is unique to 1929 models. The standard fordor models for both 1928 and 1929 did not have the plated brass cowl band. The Town Sedan models had an extra parallel bead at the front of the cowl section that the cowl band snapped on to/over. Other than that, they are the same. Of course, the Murray-bodied cars also had the Murray emblem on the lower front corner of the passenger side.

I actually restored a very early 30 fordor TS years ago. It was an original car with eyebrow fenders and had the single point garnishes.
My theory is nothing is set in stone on Model A’s. Henry ran out the parts as they were available/stocked. The JS are great guidelines but I’ve seen many original configurations that are variance with the JS.

This is not a criticism of the JS and not intended to start diatribe about them.

Thanks Dick, maybe it was on a 29 that I saw them and just assumed that the standards had single points and the TS had the double. Oh well, learn something new every day.
