31 S/W body Pinstriping

[56servi]

I am getting ready to get my 31 S/W (160B) pinstriped. I was at The Gilmore Museum on Sat & looked at about 4 different S/W car that were there. No 2 had the same pinstripe around the body & windows.
I looked in the judging standards & all they say is pinstripe from the front of the hood around the body & around the windows.
I think I understand the body part but am not sure about the around the window part.

Any pictures of the correct pinstripe for a 31 160B out there

I found this picture of my car before the fire on my other computer. Is this correct?
Area in question is at lower rear of back side window. Should it be right angle as in picture or rounded to follow shape of window?

As far as I know the stripe on the Belt moulding and around the lower moulding is correct for 1931. Around the windows is an addition.

Keep checking. I try to confirm things at least three ways. The more I work on Model A's the more confused I get!!!

The Hudson was much easier no one knew what was right!!

Actually, to be authentic, all 160 series vehicles had the belt stripe and the stripe around the windows. The window stripe was specified as 1/16th" and was approximately 3/8ths" from the belt. This is all addressed in the Paint & Refinish Guide, but until you are able to get that book, I enclosed a couple of pix that I had easy access to on this computer. Hope this helps.

On my June '29 Coupe, the well done striping seems TOO WIDE, about 3/16"---I thought about running a body color stripe, in the middle of it, to make it appear to be 2 SKINNY stripes. YES, I know that's NOT original, but I think it would look better?? Opinions, please!
