Default Difference in 1938 2 Dr Conv & 2 Dr Clb Conv

Can someone tell me what the differences are in a:

1938 2 door 3 Passenger Convertible versus
a 1938 2 door 5 passenger club convertible coupe

Thank You!

The 2 door three passenger does not have a back seat and has a shorter convertible top. It also has a rumble seat. The 5 passenger club convertible has a back seat , longer top, and a trunk.

Here are pictures of a 1938 Ford Deluxe Convertible. Notice that it has a Rumble Seat for the rear passengers.

Here are pictures of a 1938 Ford Deluxe Club Convertible. Notice that this model has a regular trunk lid, as the passengers sit inside in comfort in the Club Convertibles. I hope that this answers your questions. Regards Mercman <><

Cars on the V-8 Club concourse are required to have the fire extinguisher displayed by the left front tire.

Yours is the ONLY one I've ever cared for. Must be the color. I've seen your car numerous times and each time I am drawn to it.
Other 38's? Yech.
