26 Touring front top bow
Can someone tell me if the front bow on a 26 Touring is the same shape as the other 3? I know the lengths are a bit different depending on location. Is there a drawing showing dimensions?

David,
Yes there is a drawing with dimensions and you can get it from the Benson Ford Research Center located at the Henry Ford in Dearborn. You will need the factory part number and it will cost you a little. You can go there in person and see it and copy it for free.
I do not know about the front bow of a 1926 touring so I cannot say one way or the other. I have a 1924 runabout and for that car the front bow is different than the others. The rear and center bows for a 24 are slightly crowned but the front bow is straight. But regarding a 26 touring I do not know.

I do not know if the library is open to the public. Please check before making a trip to the Library.
