Found a 31 Victoria letherback that I'am looking at. There is no leather on the top at this time and the area around the rear window looks like some sheet metal might have been cut out, But I just don't know never seen one without the top installed :confused:
Just wondering if anyone has any pic's of there leatherbacks back window area "pre leather" thanks
Phil

Phil,

The Victoria Associations newsletter, The Bustle has had several articles with photos of the Leather-Back back window. It is considerably different than the back window in the Steel-Back, not only the wood framing differs, but so too does the size of glass (bigger). Joining the association enables you to contact owner's of Leather-Backs undergoing restoration, and hopefully one will take pictures for you.

The Ford Service Bulletin for December 1930 has photos of the exterior and interior of the Leather-Back's rear window. I highly recommend the full size set of Ford Service Bulletins because the pictures are bigger than other reprints, so you can see more details. MARC reprinted the full size set back in 1997, and you may be able to get a set from a Model A parts dealer.

Keep us posted with your progress.
 
Great info guys thanks,the pic that Mike posted was exactly what I needed to verify that the sheet metal around the back window area has not been cut out by someone.Looking forward to getting a new project going with my Dad
