Re: Top well area, 1940 convertible sedan

David,
There was a layer of the same, maybe 3/16" thick, flexible board used to do the door panels, that ran across the back, but 2 large holes were cut in it to accommodate the metal humps, to minimize the bump. Then the leatherette (same stuff as the kick panels) board went in front of that across the back. Mine has 2 side pieces and one long one across the back.
In the attached picture you can see where the metal humps were tacked to the old wood.
There were at least 2 different upholstery patterns for 1940. One for early cars, like from Aug '39 to Feb '40, and one for later, like Feb 40 onward.
