David_Leech Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 1928 Standard Six, restored 40 years ago. I know something is missing from the interior based on the holes around the windshield frame. I'm also curious what might be missing from my dash. There are several holes along the bottom edge of the dash (on the lower edge of the flange). Can't find any pictures online and I have never seen another in person. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 David, you need to look through the DB roster and find the very few Standard owners that exist. I just looked and counted 33 and a few of those belong to the same owner or could be misidentified. Standards just don't exist in quantities. As I said Tom Myers has a coupe, I know of two sedans in eastern PA. We had those two cars sitting side by side at a show and it was amazing how different they were.. Standards are a breed of their own, very few parts interchange with other '28's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't have any answers on your Standard Six, but I know my '29 DA as well as other cars of that vintage have had holes drilled into the bottom edge of the dash. When a component wore out or an accessory was added it was common for a toggle switch to be added along that bottom edge. At one time my horn went out and the vacuum tank disgarded and I had a switch for the horn and a switch for an electric fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Looks like a Victory to me, maybe with the wrong headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Leech Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Dash layout is different, possibly modified. I think I'm missing trim around the A pillars and I can't make any details out in those pictures. Good find though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 That is a Victory Six....they are completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) This is Tom and Cindy Meyers' car. It looks like there is a trim strip screwed to the 'A' pillar. Edited August 30, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Leech Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 The screw spacing seems identical. Wish I could make out what it looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) To me, it looks to be a 'U' shaped channel that is screwed on there. It looks like it goes from the ceiling all the way down maybe to hold some fabric trim on.

Kenendcindyc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi David sorry I havent checked the forum in a while. I'm happy to have a fellow Standard Six owner here. I just checked the bottom flange of my dash and it's free of holes so they must have been drilled at some point for a switch or something. Let me know if you need any other pictures.

Kenendcindyc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Actually the only holes on that flange are on the passenger side where the Steering column would mount on a right hand drive car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Leech Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 That rope detail is what I am missing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That "rope" is called windlace. It is available through many old car sources, but usually has a foam core. Over time that foam core becomes brittle with age and when pressed can turn into a powder....it's happened to 2 cars I've owned. My '29 originally had some kind of "rope" core, so for it's new windlace I went to the fabric store and actually bought "rope" (in the same diameter) along w/ a vintage looking, durable fabric that matches my mohair interior. Just sew the fabric around the rope leaving about 1" of extra flap so you can tack the windlace to the body of car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Leech Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 A saw an old advertisement for the 28 standard six and it says the interior is "laquered in smart enduring hues". My interior has absolutely no wood showing. Any idea where they are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Perhaps they are referring to the finish on the metal parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
