Default Early 60-A 2-window Fordor Sedans

Does anyone have a early 60-A 2-Window Fordor Sedan with a Right Cowl vent?

Thanks.

Yes in pieces probably won't be of any help. It is a June build

There was one in Jacksonville FL, fine point restored & for sale in Hemmings recently but the ad has expired. Would you like me to check on that for you?

My is a July 28 with a left hand side cowl vent. Are you looking for a right hand drive car?
Years ago my friend had a early roadster with cowl vents on both sides (surely not original)

I have a 29 tudor.
I had a friend install two early 1928 cowl vents in my cowl.

No...Just want to get a photo of a mid 1928 2-window fordor with right cowl vent.

Your July body does not have the Right hand vent? Briggs must have discontinued that feature early in life then.

I've had my July 28 for 30 years and seldom see 28 fordor's with LS cowl vent at National Meets. I don't think they had right vents. Factory photo's highlight left side vents, upside down handles, post light switch and celluloid visors. (never saw a celluloid visor either)

I believe you will find the left side cowl vent was eliminated from production some time late August - early September 1928. (Late Service Letters)

Interesting at the same time the inner belt rail was re-designed to increase air flow from an open windshield.

My sedan doesn't have windshield vents like other Model A's, that's were the side vent was needed and probably helped delayed production of the fordor. The dash is flat with no screws holding it on.

I never heard of a early Fordor with a right hand cowl vent. I think Henry had a coupe with cowl vents on both sides.
