Re: Why a fabric roof?
Many years ago, my dad spoke to a man who worked at the Highland Park Ford plant and later, the Rouge plant. He said they did have the capability to stamp metal tops if they so chose. However, the insulation and sound deadening and cost dictated the popular (at the time) wood bow, cotton filled vinyl top continued well through and beyond Model A production. It was many factors.
