A couple of beauties! Ya just don't see many business coupes around. How many would you guess are still on the road, in museums, etc? "Henry's Lady" says they were in production beginning April 1928 and going through 1929, but I can't find the estimated number produced. Any idea? That same reference says the early ones lacked the portholes, which were dropped after 1929 and not revived again until 27 years later on the '56 T-Bird.

Wonderful!

Only the 29s had the oval window.

I like the oval windows enough, that I bought a pair of windows for that "someday" when
a 28 coupe comes along and I just have to have "that look".
