Need help to ID '30 roadster top, deluxe vs standard
The top frame that came with my '30 roadster is a bit rougher than what I thought.
Looks like it was hit in the side, bending the main iron top and braking of the middle wood bow. The top won't open fully as that iron is bent. I am hoping to get some help with a few questions that I have and have not been able to find with the search option. How can I tell a deluxe frame from a standard frame? I know the deluxe one is smaller /shorter to fit the windshield but where do I measure and what measurement am I looking for? Are the wood bows being reproduced? Mac's, Mike's and others seem to have them discontinued. most posts I find recommend Lebaron Bonney but no longer in business. Mine are rough but repairable, if needed, or I can even remake, if no other choice. I removed the middle bow to avoid further damage. I noticed a scooped out on the left front wood bow...I am assuming for wiper motor. Main irons appear to have been chrome at one point.

Re: Need help to ID '30 roadster top, deluxe vs standard
Thank you for the answers that helps!
A couple more questions for those that may know, Are the wood bows being reproduced? Are the rivets that hold the top irons reproduced? if anyone has a middle wood bow available, can I get some measurements? Mine is broken in one size and twisted...I think I can fix it with the right measurements. A top and bottom measurements will be great.

Brookville Roadster sells the top bows and the hardware. I think the Model A supplies do as well. You can also get the Deluxe stanchions If you don’t have them. I bought the Deluxe Stanchions from the Early Ford Store in San Dimas. They carry used parts so they might have the used bows. You might also try Arizona Model A and Bert’s. I’m planning to get the Deluxe top irons and bows for my 1930 Project. If you decide you don’t want them, I’d be willing to buy them from you. David Serrano |
