A little off the original topic, but some literature and photos state that the rear seat pocket and cowl panel pocket were on '31 SW cars without rear door pockets. Also, some photos in Henry's Lady (Evergreen Press) ,supposedly of original cars, suggest that cars with this config.may not have had stitching on the (plain) door panels as well.

Jeff,
I took your advice and steamed my puckered panels and pressed them flat for a couple days. Today I sprayed them with rattle can paint and they look good. I'll put them back in tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Thank goodness you did not cheapen the car with melamine panels. Better to keep car in the garage than Mickey Mouse it. Wayne
