You beat me to it. I was going to try to locate that photo and send it to him. Now, I don't have to.
I want to add, that in the 60s, when I put a top on it, I took the fabric off the wooden bow and varnished it. At the time, I thought that it looked better. I still think it does, but Henry wanted it covered in fabric. Also the end of my lever is missing. It is broken. I think that the fabric was a tan color. I'm not really sure.
The left side view is my car.
