Default 1931 Roadster with holes in doors

I recently bought a 31 roadster from an online estate auction and I have a question about the holes in the doors. My guess is that the ones on the beltline were possibly for side curtains? Not sure about the purpose of the hole in the top of the door.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Once you install the correct sockets into the holes on the side you will be able to snap in your side curtains. LeBarron Bonney probably has them (http://www.lebaronbonney.com). The hole in the top takes a metal rod that is part of the side curtain assemble. They should be in the LeBaron Bonney catalog.

Charlie, thanks for the quick reply. My curiosity is satisfied, I can't imagine why I would want to install sidecurtains--this is a sunny day, top down, kind of vehicle.

Even if you don't install side curtains installing the sockets will fill the open holes and give the car a more finished look. I got mine from Bratton's along with the little tool to install 'em and they fit well and look good.
