I can't think of a worse place for it to be historically speaking.

I believe Mark Towle has the real canopy frame, but the plexiglass looks too wavy to be original. As far as those 'two sections being cut from spare
windshield' theory goes, that isn't so. If you look at rear view of the Richard Boone windshield, the flat arch area between bubbles is too shallow
(because it's the rear section of the canopy) to match the rear windows. Also look at the front view; the window has a compound curve, not matching the
windshield. Look at Stuart's front section... the flat area is deeper between the bubbles. These two sections won't match up. Next look at the last
photo, compare the flat section, on the box, to the leading edge and you can see how it'd match the windshield. Lastly, on the same picture, notice the
residue from the weather strip on the leading edge; this was the front. The story Bob Butts told Stuart about the sections seems to be the same as George
Barris' info.
Thanks for the welcome

Boone car windscreen | ||

Equalizerjag;
You are probably right, although the thickness of the windscreen on the Boone car looks very thin to me. At least now we have the perspective of how the piece could have been used. Without seeing the Boone car it was hard to imagine how cutting the canopy "in half" could have been used on any thing. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing more photos.. |
