The Ford Barn

My Model A does not have any shocks, ordering a new set made by Bill Stipe and was reading Les Andrews Red book on shocks to "bone up' on that which I've never seen and he mentions CW shock should be installed on the right front and left rear, and the AC shocks are to be installed on the left front and right rear...

Question:

right front = Passenger side ?
left front = Driver's side ?

Perspective being inside of the car?

Or the opposite, Perspective being the outside of the car?

right front = Driver's side ?
left front = Passenger side ?

Thanks,

Left is drivers side.

I guess it would depend on where the steering wheel is mounted.

But, the perspective is from inside the car. From anywhere inside vehicle, left is left, right is right.
