Default Re: Coupe versus Tudor survival rates

A neighborhood friend the same age as me,now near 74,inherited his grandpa's '31 coupe when he was 15 or 16.On one outing we had parked it on a busy city street in broad daylight and when we came out the rumble seat lid was open and both cushions gone,the original ones,car was never restored. This would have been in 1962 and we always wondered who would be so low or how good would you have actually felt to steal these for your own restoration. We pretty much knew everyone back then who had a coupe or a roadster and knew old car club members none of which we believed would do such a thing. Years later I knew of a local guy who always seemed to be able to "find" some of the missing items like this but never the cushions that he probably sold. Yes he is still wheeling and dealing in the old car hobby at near 80 years old.
