I don't remember to have seen before a convertible with a combination of a frameless windshield and frameless side windows. How to hold the roof?
Glad you enjoyed the pictures, I thought they would have gotten a bit more comment. I can't answer if the windshield glass is solid or laminated, I just didn't look. I've only seen one other car with frameless front and side glass, also European-bodied, possibly a Lagonda, a Voisin, or maybe a Horch - I just can't jog my memory now.
You can see two gold-plated snap fasteners at the upper outer corners of the windshield for holding the top bow.
PS - I just see that I do have 2 other pictures of the Labourdette, photos again by John Harley. Also, I'll add some photos of a 1921 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost tourer. Noteworthy if for no other reason in that it was driven quite a significant distance to the meet. You can understand why perhaps 60% of the cars were trailered, their value is just inestimable.
