Anyone positively identify what year or years this Beaudette body is?It is on my 1920 I am restoring but unsure if it is correct or not.Car is early May 1920.Help!

Looks like it would use the large end cap for the arm rest;

and has the hole for the starter button so that put's it in the 1919 to 22 range.

Thomas,

It has wooden risers upon which the "upper" floorboards would rest. In 1921 they were metal stampings, (to the best of my knowledge and using my 1921 as a reference). Therefore, I would say that your body is at least pre-1921.

Can anyone give positive ID to when the floorboard risers went from wood to metal?Just curios when they made that change to the body.Also,this body has 3/4" half oval moulding from the back of the body,goes down and curves to go back straight along the side sills,makes the back corners and both sides meet in the middle and has a small vertical piece to cover where the sills seams meet.How about this built in toolbox behind the gas tank?Still 1920?When did they have that in there?

My early 22 has the original wood floorboard risers.
