Default 1950 business coupe

I have a new car on its way waiting for shipper 1950 ford deluxe business coupe with V8 which last owner said is stuck. I have a 8ba from a 1950 tudor I was going to try and unstick new car and get it running. If not at least I have a back up plan.

Nice to see an old Ford saved from the car crusher. Good luck on your project.

Does it still have the platform and mat in the back where the seat normally goes? Also are the cardboard panels still there?

The back should have cross supports for the original cardboard. The cardboard on the back and side were medium brown in my car. I have seen others that were brown or grey. See attached pics when I covered home made replacement cardboard with grey fabric. Later on I went custom with rolled/pleated vinyl.

that's why I was asking about back seat supports maybe they were cut out for more room.
