1 / 3

Here is a thread for discussion of the Convertible Coupes. I believe there are 10 or 12 known examples left?

I'm wondering where the green car is now? I really like the colors.

Here is a factory photo.

I have heard there are around 8 of them, but really have no idea. Here are some more pics, taken from the internet. By the way, the pic of the green convertible was taken from an old book, so I don't know if it may have been redone in other colors later.

And finally, an old pic... so, A.J.,you may be right and there might be 10 - 12, considering a few may be lurking around or waiting to be restored.
Nice exercise. Perhaps we should do it for the other body styles too!

Victor, great minds think alike. I was going to start a thread for each body style. How many total cars are still around? I can think of as many as a few dozen off the top of my head that I have seen over the years. We need to find those owners and recruit them to our forum.

No idea how many are still around. I will place one pic of each car that I may have pics of in the site, on a particular thread for each body style... let's how much help in new additions we get.

As for convertible coupes, I know of no more.

Per Matt Haywood on the AACA forum the Purple with chrome wheels car is now the silver one.

Jim sold his car to Carl. Here is a picture Carl sent me.

This is from Carl: This is a photo Harley Goff sent me, taken in 1931 at a car show, maybe New York or Paris he thinks. It was in black and white. I had a lady colorize it, using the blue colors of my car. I also had her colorize a picture of a â€™29 Flying Cloud. Her work is usually quite good, depending on the colors wanted and the original photo. In addition to her colorizing that print I also had another fellow superimpose it on a nice colored background, as the original was all white. If anyone is interested in having them do any work let me know and I can send contact info. Carl Eidsness #445
