<VV> Steel tops

[J R Read_HML]

I had a '35 ford 2door SEDAN which had the fabric top.  It was a kind of 
wood framed affair with chicken wire and stuffing and a black waterproofed 
material on the outer surface.  My '36 Ford had a fabric top too, but it was 
a Cabriolet.  By '39, Fords had metal roofs even on sedans but I don't know 
what year the change occurred.
