any information for the Ford hard tops? M38 vintage.
I purchased one a year ago and its disassembled in storage I am sure its just a Willys Overland.
now I just picked up another one, and had a look at the tag and it is Ford Motor Co. of Can. Ltd.
both in great condition few dings
any known production numbers? |

Thanks Wesk.
I think I will dig out my other hardtop.
looks like I am missing a few pieces started a new thread for measurements.
seems like the lock pillars always get left behind!
I tried looking for more information on the ford but cant seem to pull anything up. maybe far fewer were made, only see reference to the Willys
there is one more line one my data plate for the ford then you show above.
can anyone interpret these numbers, would be nice to know what they all mean. |

Hi Wesk.
here is the ID plate.
CAB CLOSURE-HARD TOP

do you need the serial number or should I keep that.

thanks Wesk.
I was thinking maybe somewhere in all that information might have production numbers or more content. but its good to know what all that means now.
I take it the Ford might have more value over the Willys top? |
