Regarding coupes of these series;
1. Would leather be available for the rumbleseat, or just leatherette?
2. Would leather also be available for the interior seat, or just cloth?
3. Would wood dash and window reveals be available or just paint and/or wood graining?

Thanks for the help.

Was leatherette even a thing in the 30's?

Excellent question. I don't know when it was available.
Now that I have thought about it, I'd say leatherette was a '40s thing.
Leather or cloth would be the available choices. So, for the rumbleseat, leather is required? And, inside, leather or cloth?

Flexible vinyl was invented in the late 1920's.
