They retain then side curtins. Yup that showed up when I Googled as well. Mr Henry Yeska is no longer motivated to make them. Some one out there must reproduce them............

Guest 1929model75 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I went thru the same trouble a year ago on my 1929 Chrysler roadster. The only thing I found that was suitable was from A&L parts specialties in Canton Ct. I bought ones for a model A deluxe phaeton cut them down and they look nice in the top of the doors.

Chris Paulsen Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Unfortunately George Jepson passed away about 8 years ago-just going from memory. He and his wife Bea were absolutely wonderful people. I believe George was 97 years old when he passed. A full life for sure.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 It seems that there are many different styles of Dawson plugs. I guess this comes as no suprise. They were used on many cars that did not have roll-up windows. These are 35-36 Auburn. They are spring loaded so the button fills the hole when not in use. Does anyone recognize these as interchangeable with Packard or some other make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
