Default Re: 1936 Cabriolet Club Coupe rear seat storage

Another sleeping in the trunk story:
I use to have a friend that owned a '39 convertible coupe that he bought in 1941 from the original owner In Idaho Falls, ID.
When WWII started, my friend Marrion joined the Navy, following Boot Camp he went to I.F., Married his girl friend, the two of them loaded up in the '39 convertible and headed to Los Angeles. Upon their arrival in LA they could not find housing so they parked the car in Giffith Park. Marrion and his new wife slept in the car for several weeks, the wife in the front seat and Marrion in the rumble until he shipped out.
Marrion and his wife kept the '39 conv until the day he died in 1998..

Marrion tried for several years to get me to buy the '39 conv., I considered it may times, but never pulled the trigger, thinking, what was I going to do with two 39 convertibles.
