I am restoring the interior on my 41 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible. As all the original interior upholstery and trim was missing, I am not sure what interior trim I am supposed to have. Does anyone know if the 41 convertible had plastic trim running horizontally on the doors and shoulder (inner quarter) panels? I know the 42-48s had some plastic and stainless trim, but I am not sure about the 41s. Also, if the 41 did have this trim, does anyone have any idea where to locate these pieces? Thanks, Scott
 
Thanks for the tip. I actually have the EFV8 41-48 book, and while they are very clear on the 42-48s, they are a bit vague on this specific trim for the 41, that's why I figured I'd reach out to the group. I do agree that this book is typically the best source for this type of info.
 
I am not a 41 Ford expert but I remember years ago a guy in Dearborn area that was partnered with Roy Nacewicz at the time his name was or is Gene Payne. He had a 41 converible as I recall and reproduced the interior door trim plastic strips. Saw him advertise in Hemmings couple years ago that he had a few left. Do not know his status today or contact info as he is no longer listed in V8 club roster in Michigan . I doubt if LeBaron Bonney supplies these with door panel kits as someone mentioned on V8 site but mayby they have some info for you.
 
Thank you for the information about Gene Payne. I will do some digging and see if I can track him down. I also do know Roy, so I will ask him as well. Thanks, Scott

Hello: Re; 41 S/D Conv. I have a S/D. It has the door trim. It is not the same as the '42. It also covers a portion of the rear seat panel. The trim is a light color like the dash knobs. Have lots of pic's.
 
Thanks for the info. about your S/D convertible. I would definitely like to see the pictures. I will give you a call per your message. Scott
