28 coachlace

[Jim Mason]

Just thought I'd show the coach lace I had made. I might have done this already.
New lace, original lace, lb lace. Marge Thompson does great work.

Jim in the picture on the right my windlace in the car is the same color as what is on the right, the one on the left looks nice.

If you look at the small triangle of material in the 'flat' picture you get a better idea of the non sunbleached original color. that part was folded over at the end.

I see that if you look at that color and the picture of the windlace I posted they appear to be close or to me they do.

Now you have me wondering if mine is original. It sure looks and feels like it, what do you think?

Looks original to me. take off a trim piece to see the non faded color. Marge said that she has seen 2 deferent patterns of coach lace. recent Marc showed the other pattern in a fine point coupe, if I remember right.

This is from an original unrestored mid 1928 Tudor that's been in the same family since new. It belongs to a club member.

Whew, thanks Tom. there was a moment of doubt for me, but now I see it was unfounded. Mine is the same as that!

How interesting 28-29 are different than 30-31.

[Jim Mason]

Thanks Jim.

Looks like the upholstery in 28-29 was a little more elaborate or ornate.

Yes, I like the blue color and the lace at the top of the panels for 1928 Tudors.
The nice lace at the top of the panels was dropped for the 1929 cars.

I guess it was all for cost savings on the 30-31’s

[BNCHIEF]

They gave us poor folks what we could afford Mitch.

I like threads that show the differences in years, thanks for starting this thread Jim it has been educational.

Earliest 2-door sedan window lacing. February 14, 1928. It was obsoleted in March 1928.

[Jim Mason]

That is gorgeous!

[BNCHIEF]

Thanks I am with Jim on that remark.

[FrankFalcone]

My car interior is completely original with only a small wear spot on the rug at the foot rest area. It is a time capsule of how interiors were installed using strings and tacks.

[DaWizard]

Pictures Frank, Pictures!

What month, day, year and body do you have?

It appears the seat welting was done with the same pattern as the windlace
