This document is a dimensional blueprint (measured drawing) of an open touring-style automobile body, uploaded as body dimensions for a 1923 Ford Model T. It contains three views: a top (plan) view of the body showing interior widths across the cowl, front seat, tonneau, and rear seat areas (values such as 25 5/16", 24 3/16", 25 5/8", 23 5/8", 14 3/8", 14 7/8", 19 7/16") and an overall body length of 89"; a side (elevation) view giving heights and lengths, including 40 1/16" and 48 15/16" section lengths, door openings marked "D.O." of 19" and 17", body heights of 28 3/4" (noted "To Top of Trim Rail"), 29 3/16", 23 3/4", 28 1/8", 23 7/8", and a lower overall length of 78 1/4"; and a rear cross-section inset with dimensions such as 16 9/16", 11", 8 27/32", and 16 3/8". The drawing would be useful to someone building, restoring, or repairing a wooden/sheet-metal touring body, since it establishes panel heights, door opening sizes, and seat/tub widths. The document itself carries no title, date, model designation, or part numbers.
