speaking of the top, the 'underlayment' on top of the chicken wire is pleated like every 4"-6" this is original ?
The window weatherstrip looks pretty good, but the rubber on the steering column mount is totally deteriorated.

im trying not to knock a nice car, but some things lead me to question its "original unrestored condition"
standard Tudor had no stripe on gas tank.

we had an unrestored 31 Tudor. the headliner came loose from the bows even though the fabric was still solid- maybe that happened to this one.

not sure what's the deal on the pleats in the roof tatting. the only original roof I've removed was our Coupe.

if a bit of rotten window weatherstrip was replaced, I will still consider the car unrestored- we are preparing to replace part of the windlace around the doors of our MARC of Originality Coupe. gotta do it so it will be halfway comfortable to drive in winter. j.m.h.o.
