1928 Leather Back Fordor Page 4

The 60-A had a raised bead stamped into the door panel cardboard. The covering was then stitched on both sides as shown. The pointed top scroll type door handle was typical of 1928-29 Briggs built bodies. The window mouldings are mocha brown.

 

A good view of the body with the upper panels removed for access to the wood. Most of the body wood was of questionable integrity, but excellent for duplication. Jack made and fitted new pieces one-by-one to insure an accurate fit.
