The business coupes had no back seat, while a club coupe had a back seat. I had a club coupe once, a 1940 Lincoln Zephyr V12. ( the girls liked it) Also had a '37 Lincoln coupe, with no back seat, but I doubt it was used as a "business" coupe, considering what it cost new compared to a Furd or Chevy.

That one in the pic is really a nice one. Late 40s ??

Now THAT is what I would call personal luxury. Still think it's too bad that they didn't do something similar with Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, & other "personal luxury" cars.

I'm well aware of the difference between a Club Coupe and a Business Coupe Wink

It's a 1942.

1942, and a rare bird it is because virtually all auto manufactoring had stopped because of WW2. JB

For those of you who don't know, that sticker inside the windshield with the A on it, is a gas rationing sticker. There were A, B, and C cards/stickers. The rationing board figured how much gas was needed to drive to work, and necessary shopping mileages etc, and issued the stickers along with a ration coupon book. I remember those days quite well, while listening to the war news on the radio etc. And early on, we weren't sure we would win that war.
