I have 2 footman loops and I know where the holes are to attach them in the side panel above the rear seat armrest. BUT I can't remember which side they are on. I don't remember whether the footman loops on the Duchess, my 1940 convertible sedan, are hidden alongside but behind the top of the back seat or if they are on the inside of the top box.

I imagine they are used the same way on late 30s cars too.

Help much appreciated.

On my 1937 convertible sedans, the footman loops are on the inside of the top box area, that is to say, not on the interior leather seating area side.

Thanks much, flackmaster. Will install them there.
Makes sense because they are much more accessible in the top box.
While you're here...Acorn nuts on the interior side? Or nuts hidden under the side panel? Coarse thread sheetmetal screws with blunt tips?
Inquiring minds want to know.
