Could anyone shed some light as to why my rear body has no moulding on the top section like other Model A's?

It is a 31 Model A, were there some that had no moulding?

Regards

Kevin

Maybe the body has been re skinned,or custom made by a coachbuilder What about the doors molding on them ? post a few more photos

I think we need to see more photos, as from that photo alone, I cannot tell what kind of body it it is.

Looks like it might have been a cut off.

As your 31 std phaeton which was purchased with top irons from another vehicle anything is possible when it comes to body work. Are you even sure that it really is a '31 phaeton?

Do you have a picture of the complete side of the car?

That's what I meant by a cut off. Somebody either grafted some sedan back section on or fabricated it It looks good and it got another car back on the road.
