nzcarnerd ◊ 2011-01-27 08:34	I can see now that it is not a Deluxe by the absence of the fender trim. What I don't know is how to distinguish a Sport Coupe from a Business Coupe. So it could be either a Style 2727B Business coupe (which was not available as a deluxe) or a style 2727 which is the standard eight cylinder Sport Coupe. -- Last edit: 2011-01-27 08:38:06
