Really great story. Thanks. Ours has been in the family since 1957.

For our 1930 coupe we installed a kit from Cartouche. The interior kit included the padded tray cover and the seat back included the fabric loop that attaches to the forward wood edge of the tray. The loop keeps odds and ends from the tray ending up on the floor of the rumble area when the...
