Steel 1929 cowl band

[Bob Johnson]

The tread about making cowl bands for 1929 cars got me thinking about the one on my 1929 Town Car. Below is a close up picture of a section of the cowl band on the car. I have rubbed down a section and you can see that it is indeed steel and not brass. I gave not looked closely to other 1929 cowl bands and I am wondering if mine is attached the same as the brass ones. Notice in the picture there is a thin piece of metal just below the cowl band. Is this part of the cowl band? Is it part of the metal strip that the cowl band snaps onto? Is mine different because it is steel? Would someone with a 1929 cowl band look at theirs and see if it is similar with the thin metal below the cowl band. A picture would be helpful. Also does anyone have a picture of the cowl after the cowl band has been removed.

I tried removing the cowl band but I could not get it to move at all. I did not use a lot of force because I am not sure how it is attached.

Thanks
Bob
