The front roll of the arm rest was leather until around 1916. 1917 and later cars had a small metal cap on the arm rest, and no longer used the leather.

Door and side panels were covered with imitation leather until about 1917 when the side panels were changed to a black cardboard-like material, with a trim welting around the edges. 1926 and 1927 cars came with and without buttons in the seat upholstery.

Town Car: black leather seats and door panels, with fabric lining and trim.

Sedan: gray and white striped pattern in wool. Trim was bright and elaborate. Seats were diamond tufted in the rear, but comparatively plain in front.

Coupelet: Black leather seats and door panels. Folding top had blue lining and trim.

Town Car: see 1916.

Sedan: (Centerdoor) Gray and white striped pattern in wool but less ornate than the 1915. Seats were pleated instead of diamond-tufted. Trimmed in gray lace.

Coupe: Seats, door panels and straps were changed to imitation leather during this period. The top also changed to imitation leather, and was now lined and trimmed with green fabric and lace.

Town Car: The seats, front and rear were real leather. The jump seats and door panels were covered with imitation leather. The top also changed to imitation leather and was lined and trimmed with the same blue/gray fabric used on the 1915 sedan. Later (mid-1916 and on) used a less ornate cloth top lining.

Sedan: Continued as in 1917. With the introduction of the starter (1919) came a dashboard and gray whipcord quarter panels.

Coupelet: Continued the gray whipcord fabric and lace trim introduced in 1918 and, like the sedan, had whipcord quarter panels.

Finish coat F-753 Gear Varnish. (This was basically a clear varnish top coat also used on bodies.)

The “blue” was an almost-black color, easily taken as black.

In late 1926 when wire wheels became standard on the closed cars (but not all at the same time), the standard wire wheel color was black. Colored wheels were special order or dealer-installed.

Caps for wire wheels were with the Ford script but were of steel and were larger; crimped in place on the wheels. Nickel-plated.

The initial use began with the 1912 models. Prior to these, the top support straps ran to the front of the chassis, connecting to a loop at the radiator mounting bolt or to an integral loop on the headlamp bracket.

The loop was initially designed with dual-diameter ends; one end being 1“ and the other 1-1/8”. Ford records indicate that on December 29, 1911 the design was changed to now have a diameter of 7/8” at both ends, with the two holes being 13/32”.

On April 14, 1916 a note specifying this loop to be brass-plated was removed from the drawing. The loop was to be made of crankcase stock and was to now be “tumbled and raven finished.” On August 22, 1916 a note was added; “Have shown loop bent at an angle of 22 degrees.” This bend probably was made earlier since the strain to the top straps would seem to have made the bend even if the loop was initially a straight piece.

On July 17, 1920 the loop was specified for repairs only and then on April 9, 1921 it was again specified for standard production. It would seem that the sloping windshield was contemplated but then delayed. In any event, this part was discontinued when the sloping windshield appeared in U.S. production in late 1922.

The loop straps appear to have been black-colored leather until about 1913 and then became cotton webbing until the 1923 models when they were no longer required.
