40ZephSedan Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Dave, you asked about some trunk details that might be helpful to you as you take on the trunk. We see a lot of pics on engines, bodies and interiors, but see little detail on trunks, so I thought this may be helpful to others as well. This 40 sedan trunk is the most original-complete I have seen yet. Neat how they had a strap included to hold the wood floor up while working underneath. I am not sure I understand the purpose of the metal strap bolted onto the wood floor, slotted for side to side adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mssr. Bwatoe Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi Paul, Good trunk pics, I'd love to see more pics of that car..it looks like maybe original dove grey..the material looks like woven burlap? brown. The black spring keeps lid secure with mild tension when floor is down..(mine is in a little bag I saved) jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40ZephSedan Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Had the 41 fender turn lights, but is a '40. Seldom see this beige/tan, and was repainted but it is same color in trunk far corners. I guess the black spring clip did help the floor from rattling around. From LaCrosse Central Chapter show in 2012. The Central Chapter show is coming up soon Sept 12-14 in Homestead, Iowa! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40ZephSedan Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 It was a brown/tan square weave with a slight purple tint. My trunk won't stay up either, but haven't looked into it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
