Did any of the coupes have the back window roll down? Seems like I have seen some with rumble seats where the windows rolled down and you could talk to people in rumble. Easy conversion if this was the case? Looking at coupe now,rear window is solid. Maybe it was converted to rumble seat at one time?
Very solid driver,good interior,good tires about 7K. Reasonable??

There is a kit to install a roll down rear window from most of the dealers.

It was a factory option with late 1931 Deluxe Coupes with Rumble Seats as I recall.

The roll down rear window is not authentic for a 1930 Coupe.

My 30 coupe has it, with rumble seat conversion. PIA to install, so I hear.

Yes PIA.
It takes a different package tray, window molding, drip box, regulator, wood frame and other parts.
Kits are far from complete.
