No Model A ever had an oval rear window. The Business Coupe had oval side quarter windows in 1929.

Please post a picture of the oval window in your Victoria. I can imagine doing this in a Leather-back, but not in a Steel-back.

Are you a member of the International Victoria Association?

Maybe so, however there was never a 50A or 50B Sport Coupe manufactured with oval side windows.

Has the top of your Vicky been chopped?

I think that the top of your Victoria has been chopped. The rear window should be around 9 inches high. Here is a picture of the rear window on a leather back.

I agree with Bill. It appears the top of car has been chopped. Here's my stock steel-back:

I agree with Ruth, I think your top has been chopped. Your window appears to be the wrong shape also. The Vicky window is more rectangular.

The top chopped 2", The window ends are round/oval ?? Bottom of window sheet metal look like could have been setup for slider up & down. I think 32s had this window.

Since you already know it was chopped and modified, I'm not sure what the purpose of your original question was?
