I agree with the people that stated it is a special coupe. I have a 28 special coupe I am getting close to finishing. They are an attractive car. It is definitely not a sports coupe - I had one of those in my younger days. You know that you can move the seatback back 1 5/8". That is what I did on my car. Ford has a half page in their service bulletins on how to do it. You need to make a fairly simple pair of lower brackets and move the 1/5/8" x 1/5/8" piece of wood behind the seatback to behind the front lip of the package tray. If you need more info on how to do it, let me know.
