Hi

A couple more I missed, a black '40 120 convertible sedan parked directly across from the red '37 120 convertible sedan pictured above. The striking difference in the top heights was very easy to observe: standing at the windshield header next to the '37, one can sight across the top of the material; next to the '40, another of two inches of height is in view. One wonders if the taller top height was the result of customer complaints, in that hat-wearing era?

Bringing up the rear is the old soldier WW I Packard truck.

Steve, my guess it that difference in heights is due to the 37's low and flat windshield where the 40's is taller and divided leading to a higher roof/top line. Personally, I prefer pre-38 convertible and sedan with the chopped windshield look.
