What is this? Besides cool... Split windshield. 38-ish Ford by all other accounts. TinEye revealed nothing.

It's a Cabriolet, Skip.

I knew it was a cabriolet this time... otherwise, I search Google Images.

Thanks again, Doc. i thought I knew my 38 Fords, but I seem to have missed the fixed windshield model. My tudor had a swing out like my truck.

Quiz: Who else knows the difference between a cabriolet and a roadster? (Ford didn't offer a roadster in 1938).

Snopro, What you need to do, is you need to get in the lineup for ownership, ------- behind me.

A possible quiz answer; a cabriolet has solid windshield posts and window glass in the doors, where a roadster doesn't.

Close, a '37 Ford Roadster had fixed windshield posts.

The textbook difference is the window glass, which you were right about.

Since we're on the topic, check out this 38 Cabriolet. Isn't it sweet?

If you don't recognize the '36 beside it, that's Kirk Hammett's (Metallica) beautiful 36 3W coupe.
