1923-25 Overland roadster, anyone have one?

[trimacar]

.....with a nice, or preferably original, top on it!  I'm working on a roadster, and one question I have are the straps from the back of the body to the rear top bow.

 

I feel they should be at a slight angle, with the top of the strap further out toward the side of the car than the bottom of the strap.  This would give some sideways stability to top assembly.

 

Logic says they should be straight up and down, or everyone at every car show will be saying "look at the crooked straps"!

 

Any thoughts, or of course, preferably, pictures to support one way or the other?  Thanks  David C.

 

PS, interesting, no Overland forum?
