Pinstriping

Does anybody know what the width of the pinstripe line is supposed to be on a 1930 Mod B Club Sedan? I think I know the pattern of the lower stripe going around the car and the top stripe turning up at the w/shield post and going over the doors. Do the 2 stripes meet at the front to a point? Jim

PAS Service Bulletin 77-4, page 5 states that the width of the pin stripe for 1930 is 3/64 of an inch.

I have some early 30’s color cards for Pierce, and while I haven’t measured the stripes shown, they are VERY narrow. Striping was an accent, not a focal point, so the 3/64 sounds right. It took me about 3 years to find a person who could stripe my ’31, as I wanted it done narrow and by hand (no taping involved). I don’t think it’s quite that narrow, but it’s close…

Hi,

Here is one of my paint cards. I did not paint my car original colors but this card is the orginal paint color next to the car.
