The coupe model shares the same body as the convertible cabriolet, but its leather-covered roof was fixed in place by a wooden frame and heavy bolts. The rumble seat lid was reversed to form a lid for a trunk. The result was a car with the good looks of a cabriolet but with the all-weather comfort of a closed car, with enough storage for comfortable touring.
Over the years, many coupes have been 'cut' into faux cabriolets. Thus, only a handful of the Coupe still exist. This particular example is the up-level Custom example, with chromed headlights, dual side-mounted spares with hard covers, a Flying Lady hood ornament, side-mount mirrors, and the Dual Ratio rear axle, which allows the transmission to be driven in either a low or high range, depending on the road conditions.
This example has completed five CCCA CARavans, in New England (2001), Old South (2004), Upper Midwest (2005), Indiana (2007), and St. Louis/Memphis (2009). It carries CCCA Senior badge number 2486S.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2014
