Was helping Craig Beek organize some parts etc and came across some photos of a top he has (no longer on the Touring). Did a bit of bit surfing the web and found some info about it. The photo's of the top were taken several years ago and the top is currently stored up in the rafters of his museum. Planning to pull it down to get some better photos of its condition. Craig indicted it was for a 1915 Touring with the rear brackets as shown in the photo and could fit up to 1920. I'll be adding some more photo's too
The door "windows" pull down from the roof. The others are fixed

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: All Weather Tops (Limo / California)
That was probably a rather expensive acessory, but in Northern states it would make sense.
A duplicate, but with the roofline dropped about 3", would make a stylish sedan or coupe out of a ragtop T.
One reason for the high rooflines back in the day was the fact that most people wore hats, and some womens' hat styles added about a foot to their height.
