Did a1936 Ford 3 window coupes have a solid roof or padded?

Insert top. I don't believe Ford started producing steel tops until 1937.
I have attached a photo of my coupe. You can just barely see the insert top.

I believe Chevy had full steel tops in 36. It was a bragging point that fisher body had the presses big enough to stamp a full top. Ford accomplished the same feat in time for the 37 model year. Just my understanding, would appreciate any confirmation or otherwise.

Correct. Chevy ads in the day called it the "turret" top, like the turret on a tank. My first car was a 36 chev 2 door, standard

Padded insert.I think 37 was the first yr for solid roofs for Fords.

Correct,
1937 was also the year Ford went to a one piece hood. It opened much like modern hoods do.

Ford Pickups and trucks has solid roofs starting in late 1931.
