Lyle Willits Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 New resin from Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland. Fits Revell 5-window '32 Ford kit. Obviously I have already painted the top in these photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Lyle, please excuse my nievety, but what makes it a CABRIOLET, as opposed to just a roadster? Is it the fact that the roof(at least the rear of it) extends down INTO the body? I'da just called it a roadster or a convertable. Thanks.

Modelmartin Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Roadsters do not have crank-up windows, George. They often have side curtains. Cabriolet and convertible or convertible coupe are all the same thing and they have crank-up windows. A touring car or Phaeton is the same as a roadster but with 2 seats, 3 or 4 doors - no side windows! A convertible sedan is the crank-up window version of the touring. And despite what Mercedes marketing calls it a coupe can not have 4 doors!!! Edited February 21, 2011 by Modelmartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 THANKS Andy, I did not know that, and I appericiate the answer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Willits Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 In addition to the above info, the '32 Ford cabriolet has a FIXED windshield frame, as opposed to the thin, bolt-on roadster frame. The cabriolet roof is a lift-off item. It is entirely different than a fold-down roadster canvas top. Roll-up windows (on the 1:1) have a chrome frame around them. Door handles are below the beltline. '32 Ford cabriolets came standard with a rumble seat and cowl lights. This resin body is pretty much stock, but is meant to be used with the 5-window street rod interior pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
