what body number/ production month do you have?

I to have a 36 CS. Trunk back. In very solid condition. Has original upholstery that is in bad shape covered with a metallic vinyl that is also in poor condition. Where is body number located and I will check mine.

I'm 44 and I dislike these people and they are coloser to my age than most of the folks here. I wouldn't buy a bag of chips from their vending machine if I were starving.

Seth, I love your statement, you put into words how I felt when I first learned of their purchase.

I am starting from scratch. I have a good front seat and new springs from Snyders. I have original fabric samples and pictures of patterns from Lebaron Bonney from years back. I am looking at ordering a new top from convertible top guys. The top I have has front and back wood header and 2 top irons. The 35/36 ford book shows the fabric patterns as well.

I put turn5 right there with the racoons that dig through my trash.

The body number is on the firewall in the engine compartment on the passenger’s side. — the picture is a late production car I saw at hershey,mine is shortly after trunk change.
I have made a few of the metal that covers the front bow.
