CATHEDRAL
The Cathedral is so named because its shape is said to look
like a Cathedral. It was a very popular option that was available in Australia for
Model A Fords (they were also used cars use on other than Fords). Some owners install the
Cathedral on the rear fenders of two door Model As for appearance. However, the Cathedral
was originally meant for four door cars to protect the rear fenders from being kicked and
scratched when passengers get into the rear seat. An example of the Cathedral
mounting is shown below.

from Gawler, South Australia provided the pictures and information on the Cathedral.
Glen is a member of the South Australia Model A Ford Club and has a great website
