Interesting discussion!

When I got my 41 Clipper. the rope was missing but the hardware was there. I was surprised that the Clipper Parts Book called for a "robe rope." I expected it to be called a 'hand rope' of 'hand hold.'

I suspect that the names "robe' and 'robe rope' may predate the automobile back to "buggy days."

Oh, I made a home made rope to go between the brackets. Improves the looks of the back seat.
