I have a new 1932 roadster complete top, seats, interior door panels and windshield. I would like to sell, but I would wonder what was the original sales price? La Baron Bonney went bankrupt. Thanks

The top alone, depending on the material used in its making would have run about $900 and another $900 or so for a complete set of matching side curtains. If the material used for the top is LeBaron Bonney's T-14 material, which was a very good reproduction of the original drab top material used on deluxe open cars, then the above figures are understated. Those figures above do not include the wood bows for the top nor the top irons to which the wood bows attach. The original cost of the interior upholstery would vary substantially depending on the materials used and the color of that material. For example, the original front seat bottom and back cushions were originally covered in leather for the deluxe version of the roadster whereas the standard version had artificial leather material. There is a big cost premium for real leather if your cushions were so upholstered, especially in the original copra drab color (dark olive green/black).

When you say you have a complete top does it include the bows? If you have the bows that makes a big difference in the price.

If you have not yet sold your '32 roadster interior, I am interested in it. Thanks, Tom tommymdot@comcast.net
