Landau Bar lengths

[NJ Dorsey]

how standard are landau bar lengths between different coachbuilders/years? Is there a somewhat standard length? And are the bolts sizes for them usually the same?

 

[John ED Renstrom]

there is nothing standard between coach builders. you get into the Accubuilt years when they were producing every name in one plant then yes they may share some things but other than the commercial chassis for cadillac there was nothing standard between the lines. the only exception was CB in the Wayne years. as it was all one company they did try to keep cost down by using similar products like the excursion for the upper doors. CB's were milled MM were wrapped but you look at them from the end they started out from the same aluminum extrusion and cut for the body they were going on. CB also used the same landau bars from 72 up as the MM did. but once again they both had the same parent company.
