Adrian,
Not that I want to get into an arguement, but I don't agree with your assessment.
I have studied 1000's of photos of White Scout cars over the years. I have had my own since 1986 and have travelled more than 100,000km. in 25 years in it. I have been the main restorer in the restoration of 3 others.
There is no way that the roofline can be seen as raised up if it hasn't been. The original canvas runs parallel to the underside of the body after it raises up only about 3 inches to the first hoodbow. That canvas looks to be up about 12 inches in that photo. This would be done to give more headroom for the chaps sitting at the desk in the back.
regards Rick.
