Default Re: 1941-1948 Ford and Mercury club coupes- two different roofs. why the difference?

If you talking about the drip rails it was the 41 club coupe or coupe sedan than has the drip rail drop strait down to the top of the deck while the same coupes for 42 -48 curved down to give a smoother more integrated line. both are the long door coupes. The bodies have the same profile but the way the drip rail flows creates a sort of optical illusion. pictured L to R 41,42,46,47,48 coupes all long door.
