1935 Cadillac - GM Heritage Center

Fisher Body Service Manual, 1935
COUPE (SPORT)
The Two Passenger Sport Coupe is similar to the Business
Coupe except that the Deck Lid is hinged at the lower edge to
brackets supported by the Floor instead of at the Deck Upper
Bar as in the Business Coupe. (See Illustration No. 116.)
The Deck Lid is upholstered to form a Back Rest and a
Rumble Seat Cushion is installed on the Seat Risers on the
Floor. The Rear Quarter Panels cover the side of the Body
from the Door Opening to the Rear End Panel.
The Deck Lid of this Style Body is similar in shape and size
to the Business Coupe Lid.
The Body Panels are similar in both Styles and are constructed
and attached in a similar fashion.

To describe the construction of this unit, it is necessary to
divide these component parts into two main groups:
1. Front End Frame Parts. /
2. Front End Outer Panels. /
(Cowl and Dash.)
FRONT END FRAME
The Frame of the Front End Assembly is composed of five
major parts:
Front End Frame Upper.
Front End Frame Side Brace, Right and Left.
Front End Frame Leg, Right and Left.
The Front End Frame Upper (See Illustration No. 6) is a
steel stamping that has the following characteristics:
It forms the Windshield Opening.
It forms the base to which the Windshield Garnish Molding
is screwed.
It forms the Instrument Panel.
It forms the Facings of the upper portions of both Front
Pillars.

Front End Frame Upper.
It forms the Windshield Header Panel.
It forms the anchorage for the Headlining Tacking Strip
at the front.
It is the base to which the Cowl Panel, Roof Panel and
other parts are welded.
In short, this Front End Frame Upper is an important
part for it serves many purposes in the upper portion of the
Body Front End Assembly. It is torch welded to the Metal
Roof Side Rails (See Illustration No. 10 at A) and welded likewise
to the Front End Frame Leg in Illustration No. 9 at A.

Doors and reaches from the Roof to the Sills as shown in
Illustration No. 5. It is composed of several Steel Stampings
and formed Steel Braces which are welded and riveted together
to form a single unit known as the Body Front End
Assembly.
