Thread: Window counting

Tweet

Well since i picked up the 37 i have had a habit of calling it a 5 window coupe . But i have enough fingers to count 6 , but there not called that . So is 37 for the first year they just called them a Coupe and they left out counting windows . Didn't check but i don't think i've seen a 3 window for 37.

I didn't think Ford made a 3-window in '37, I thought it was the fiberglass guys that came out with the '37 3-window.

The windshield doesn't count as a "window". '36 was the last year Ford did a 3 window coupe. There were two coupe models in '37, the "normal" like yours and then the Club Coupe that had a slightly longer and different shaped roof, both having 5 windows.

Bob mine has the split giving it 2 windows in the rear roof so did they count it as one still . I know of the model club coupe

I don't recall seeing any Ford reference to window count after '36, just the reference "coupe".
I've seen individuals refer to, for example, a '40 coupe as a "5 window", but they obviously didn't count. I suspect it's the presence of a quarter window that triggers the thought of "5 window".
