1927 model t touring windshield and stanchions

[AUTIE]

Hello, does any one know of another open car from the 20's that has the same exact top and bottom windshield frame dimensions as a 27 Model T touring and the stanchions are almost identical except for the bottom where it bolts to the body. I looked at a windshield today and took a true 27 "T" stanchion with me to be sure. Same height, width etc.. except the one I was going to purchase, the lower part of the stachion had the curve of the body in the front but the back was flat. Both were like that and they weren't tampered with or altered. I know a 1928 Chevy is similar but it wasn't one of those. Was a 1926 Model T touring or even a roadster different? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks guys! (I know pics would be quite helpful but this is from a guy who's never had a cell phone )

Yes the 26 is different then the 27 and from your description sounds like that is what you are looking at. Unless you are going for a show car it should work.

How is a '26 different from a '27? (Same cowl)

The earlier '26 has less 'meat' at the front edge flare toward the hood side of the cowl body, the later '27 added metal to make the stanchion more robust.
