Seems I know of a red K roadster that also has been seen racing around several events. Probably can go faster now that it has a windshield. Just saying

Wayne, not the first time for a K roadster to have one. In fact, when the car was stripped to paint, we saw holes and lines where it had a windshield at one time. A few other examples.
Cheers, and thank you for posting,
Rob

I knew that several model Ks, both touring cars and roadsters, had had windshields back in the day, and that a couple touring cars have them now.
But I also like the "wind in my face" feel of open speedsters and other cars early enough to have had no windshield when new.
Just had to razz you a little bit.

Actually, the car looks quite nice with it!
