Title: where is the proper location on a 33 fleetwood limo for these foot braces ???
Post by: Alex Alrikas on December 16, 2013, 07:46:30 PM
I am not sure where these foot braces are to be located? can anybody send a picture as to proper location.

Also I would really appreciate a picture of the back of the windshield divider showing what one looks like in finished trim.

Thank You,

Alex Alrikas

Alex,
I've been away from 33's for quite some time. They are not foot rests. I think they're holders for the lull straps over the windows in the rear sail panel. Let's see what others say.
HTH, Bob

If you scroll down through the photos in this eBay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cadillac-Fleetwood-SERIES-75-LIMO-1938-cadillac-fleetwood-limo-originaly-built-for-the-levis-strauss-/231122328045?forcerrptr=true&hash=item35cff6d9ed&item=231122328045&pt=US_Cars_Trucks#ht_43363wt_1133 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cadillac-Fleetwood-SERIES-75-LIMO-1938-cadillac-fleetwood-limo-originaly-built-for-the-levis-strauss-/231122328045?forcerrptr=true&hash=item35cff6d9ed&item=231122328045&pt=US_Cars_Trucks#ht_43363wt_1133) , there are a couple of photos showing the rear seat assist straps and their support bars. The support bars look similar to yours.  What do you think?

Thank you all for your help. I did scroll through some of the pictures on your suggested link. Yes , They do look like brackets for a lull strap.
Probably used to assist one from getting out of the back seat, I think?

Again, thank you for your reply!   Alex
