Rear mounted spares were a lot more common than thought because many open cars were converted during the 60's.

Here is a short list of cars with rear mounted spares from my immediate memory:

Cavallero: 32 Phaeton
Gallagher: 32 Phaeton
Hirsch: 32 Coupe Roadster
Hirsch: 34 Sedan - Su8
Heinmuller (I think): 34 Coupe Roadster - Su8
Pratt: Two 32 Phaetons
Finn: 36 Coupe
Wemple: 32 Opera Coupe
Webber: 33 Coupe Roadster - Su8
One other fellow: Two 32 coupes (I can't remember his name)

Almost all of these cars have moved on since.

The car in the Craigs list ad is an early 32. It needs to have the dash panel redone because it is not done correctly. It should be engine turned oxide finish. The cigar lighter is not correct among other little odds and ends. It if still has the four speed aluminum case transmission that is very desirable.
