I've been looking at my model 65 that I think is most original, but I have a question for the club members. In the engine compartment, was the firewall originally painted black or body color? Mine is black and looks to be the original paint, runs and all. The body and serial number plate looks to have the original mounting rivets on it. Also when I started to dismantle my car, it had a drip rail above the doors. Was that authentic and put on by the factory or a previous owner? I know the 65 and 75 were a bit more fancy for 1928 but I can't remember seeing a drip rail on the cars.

Mike, I think the firewalls where black mine on my coupster is black as for the drip rail I have no clue good luck.

My 29 four cylinder has the drip rails. I'd think it would be standard. Seems to be a trim piece to edge the roof covering. I'm going to have to replace mine soon, so I'm looking for a source. My upper wood will need repair in order to hold the brads.

I got my guttering for the 30 Durant from LeBaron Bonney. Their toll free number is 1-800-221-5408 and the website is www.LeBaronBonney.com....
I think what you are looking for is listed under Gutters.
I would think that all our closed cars would have used gutters.
