I placed front speakers in the front cowl panels of our '29 Town Sedan and then placed a "pocket cover/flap" over them so that when I was not using the bluetooth, I could close the flaps and at least create the impression that these were "map pockets", similar to those on other models (there is also a snap at the top of the cowl panel next to the door that secures the flap when the radio is in use, thereby fully exposing the speaker). Since you have a tudor sedan, I'm wondering whether rear speakers could be mounted on the two side panels below the rear side windows, and then run the fabric from the side panel over the whole panel to include the speakers. Perhaps in doing so the speakers would not be so terribly obvious?

Not to hijack this thread, but I'm also considering running heated seats in my current restoration.
