1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe Rear Seat back support.
The rear seat back support has a curve at top support outline is strengthened with a metal strip. See picture. This being on LHS on RHD car.
The purpose for this shaped piece is ?? Must be a reason or else it would just have timber straight across? thoughts? Thanks Phil NZ DSC06678.jpg |

Phil, I think that the cut-out is for the spare wheel mounted vertically in the trunk. Mercman <>< Last edited by mercman from oz; 07-25-2023 at 06:08 PM. Reason: spelling error |

And the "cut out" was indeed from factory and not a local owners modification? As I thought as in the case of a coupe the spare wheel may sit in this area behind the seat. Phil NZ |

Re: 1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe Rear Seat back support.
I know that the spare tire was sometimes located behind the driver's seat on the 1937 models, but I thought they always had the split back front seat. Your frame looks like it is for the one-piece seat back that flips up to access the compartment behind the front seat. It sure looks like the cutout is for the interior mounted spare wheel.
