Default Original 1931 Coupes and Roadsters with trunk compartment...

If there is anyone or someone that knows of anyone who has a an original (unrestored) 1931 Coupe or Roadster with a trunk, we need to confirm the SHAPE of the Deck Door Lock Striker Plate.

There seem to be two styles (maybe more) one style has a symetrical appearence (the most common one seen) and the other has a non-symetrical appearence (not sure if this one is original to the Model A Ford, a later Ford issue or reproduction). With that were the original 1931 striker plates symetrical or were they non-symetrical in appearence?

Thank you.

Pluck

I have a '30 original with trunk lid - will a check of that one qualify or do you have to see a '31?

To expedite matters,...does it look like "JOOP's"?....if you can't take a photo.
But I think Steve's also looking for photos..

Thanks,...Dudley

Not to hijack the thread, but since Pluck and I are working on the same project, I would also ask that if someone has and original 29 striker, a photo would answer a lot of questions.

This is a pic that Jim Sinclair posted of his original '28 Roadster. It is clearly the symmetrical type. Rusty also posted a pic of another original '28 Roadster and it was the same.
