My front plate on my 30 coupe reads Hoover for President. Roosevelt plate are expensive,

This is a plate from the 1932 election, as it refers to the Depression and Prohibition.

I wear it on my 68-C along with a 1931 Long Island Motor Parkway "E-Z Pass"

What are those two fasteners--one on the windshield mast and the other on the door just below the belt line? Some sort of murphy fastener? No need for side curtains on a 68B since it had windows.

Also, when fully closed, the windshield frame on my '31 68B sits outside of the windshield mast; in this picture, the frame seems to be recessed, why? Perhaps a bulletproof windshield?

They look like the hinge pins, not fasteners.

Yes, you are right. I see that now....

Still think the windshield was modified though.

This has nothing's to do with Model A Ford. Why would a Model A fan care about it ? Wayne.

Having this 31' Ford rigged up as WW2 era car, along with the "B' gas ration sticker and vintage tourist destination window labels, there is a Wendell Willkie plate topper ready to pop on. Figure it to be a "left over" thing from the 1940 campaign against Roosevelt.
