Hi Don,
Was great meeting with you and Larry last week to look at his CD-138 Limo and thanks again for dinner!! Thoroughly enjoyed our conversation.
Wanted to share two new/updated ideas for a 5-pass body style on the CD-138 chassis. First uses the Junior club sedan's rear roof and a new decklid and rear quarters. Second uses the Junior coupe's rear roof, business coupe's decklid (elevated a few inches), new rear quarters and forward-curving rear door window frames.
Two questions arose when I created these and was wondering if you might help answer them.
1. What is the CD-138's front door width? The '36 Data Book lists all 2-door Juniors as 38-13/16 inches and all 4-door Juniors as 34-13/16. Am wondering if the CD-138 uses the same front door as the touring coupe or a unique door that is a bit wider. If wider, by how much? If convenient, can you measure and compare?
2. Regarding the second image, is the body width at the coupe's front door aft location the same as the body width at the CD-138's rear door aft location? This will tell me if the coupe's roof would align with the CD-138's rear doors.
Thanks!
Paul West
