23 - 25 windshield question
I think I know the answer, but has anyone ever seen a 23-25 roadster with a windshield that has a hinge in the middle of the windshield similar to what a 1918 or 1919 would have? All I have seen pivot up at the top of the stanchion.

Re: 23 - 25 windshield question
Tom, you'd need a colonial bodied Australian built car. My Duncan and Fraser cars have both windscreens pivoting, as does my Holden bodied tourer. My wide body roadster has a single windscreen which pivots about 2/3 of the way from the top. There are many variations on the windscreen theme.

Re: 23 - 25 windshield question
If you are just talking about the glass swinging, the lower glass on the Canadian cars swung but the windshield post were not hinged like the 15-22 cars. Chevrolet used a very similar design windshield post, their lower glass also swung. Then there could have been windshield/posts that were offered aftermarket where the top half folded down.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!
