Greetings, An interesting car. I have a question about the suspension. I’ve seen car with leather gaiters on the springs to keep out dust. This car appears to have the springs wrapped with cord. Can you explain the purpose of the wrappings on this car? It seems to me that these would not exclude mud or dust, and would stiffen restrict spring movement.
I don't have an answer. I've seen several cars in this era that have springs covered with a variety of things, and I haven't yet discussed it with anyone, nor read about them yet. Sorry, I don't have anything but speculation

Let’s be careful out there.
