There is no screen in my '46 or the fully restored '42 an acquaintance owns. The screen may not have been part of the assembly until the AD trucks.

...no screen on my 37 but my 52 panel had one..... I believe someone above mentioned no screen until AD trucks. edit: and yes, I've had a few bugs pop inside the cab but at 75-80 mph very few lived to tell it.

That is odd. My 38 car has a screen.
