Default '31 Coupe

How does one determine if you have a Standard Coupe or a Sport Coupe?

Sport coupe has a soft top that does not fold down. Regular coupe has a hard top

Hello, if it hasn’t been modified from original, highly unlikely, the standard coupe will have parking lights in with the headlights, the Deluxe will have the cowl lights and often an interior light, the Deluxe will also have a upgraded interior, most standards seem to have a brown or gray check interior. I believe the deluxe came with a rumble seat but that could be fitted to a standard also . If your car has any traces of original color could help too , certain colors are used only on deluxe or standard cars .

Windshields on sport coupe and standard coupe have fixed "A" pillars.

Thanks for all the info. My Dad bought this car in 1951 as a daily driver. It was black with a brown mohair seat. It had 16" steel wheels with baby moon hub caps. It was restored in 2006.Model A Black.jpgModel a smaller.jpg
