Years ago someone was selling folding '28-29 windshield posts as reproductions. I don't know how many were sold. This car may have a set of those.
Also, in 1929 Canada built a "Deluxe Roadster" that had folding windshield posts. Maybe this is a Canadian car.
I haven't opened the link to study the car, but those are two possible explanations for the presence of folding windshield posts.

ADDED: Not being familiar with Canadian-built Model A's, I have a question: Was there also a "Sport Phaeton" in 1929 that had folding windshield posts? If not, perhaps the w/s posts on this BaT phaeton came from a Canadian "Sport Roadster"? Any folks north of the border who can shed light on this issue?
