Coupe rear window
 

I've owned Tudors and Fordors, but never a coupe. So why not now? My wife really wants a rumble seat and thinks coupes are "cute"' so-------.

Here's my question: Do any 30/31 coupes have a roll-down rear window? I think I saw a handle under the window in one picture I looked at, but only that one.


Thanks for helping!!

Some did from the factory. One of the vendors has a kit to install one (pricey).
Paul in CT My 32 with a trunk had a crank down rear window.

I have one in my 1930 coupe, it only rolls down half way.
It’s a nice option that allows you to talk with passengers
in the rumble seat.

There is an article from The Restorer magazine on putting one of these in. I don't know when it was originally printed, but it is included in The Coupe Book. The article is called "Roll Down Your Coupe's Back Window!" ( or "How To Talk to Your Rumble Seat Passengers" ) by Loren A. Odland of Selby, S.D.

I am in the middle of adding a roll down rear window kit in my ‘31. They were standard equipment in all deluxe coupes after June if 31 and in standard coupes that had a rumble seat. I have wanted one for years but I will say the kit is far from bolt in. I am bit detail oriented and I am sure at some point in the future a doctor will ask my kids when the descent into madness began and they will refer to the time I put a roll down rear window in my Model A.

Installing a roll down rear window kit is a fun project albeit not for the faint of heart.

Check http://www.mikes-afordable.com/PLST.html site, reprint of instructions for installing the roll down window.

Pretty complicated. Btw, mine rolls down to within an inch of the bottom. Original in '30 standard coupe w/rumble.

Instructions stated to remove and "discard" many parts and items...
One thing I've learned with Model A's is you don't "discard" anything...
