Hi

I agree with JW, the body is a factory supplied converible victoria for 1935-36 with the top mechanism modified to accept quarter windows.

I'm going on the limb further and state I think the quarter windows are from a GM C-Body 1942-'47 such as would be found on a Olds 98, Buick Roadmaster or Cadillac 62 convertible. This opinions is just from looking at the pictures and being instantly reminded of those rather long quarter windows those cars have.

If the modification did take place in the period and was performed by a coachbuilder, the frame style would match perfectly, those fellows didn't do shoddy work.

Frankly, I think the car would look much better with the blind quarters, much more elegant!
