dhill_cb7 ◊ 2020-09-23 19:40	Was original brightened or ?
s13a ◊ 2020-09-23 19:46	It seems it was brightened by the user. In the movie it's pretty dark, as seen in the current picture. Should this be brightened or leave as it is for authenticity?
dhill_cb7 ◊ 2020-09-23 20:08	I thought we always left as it appears on film. In this case I believe we leave them dark.
tore-40 ◊ 2020-09-23 21:36	Is there a view of the seats? Twin sun visors verify a Super, but was there any external difference between the Sedan Coupe (as listed) and the Coupe (what was usually called Business Coupe elsewhere)?
s13a ◊ 2020-09-23 22:10	There is a back seat: I believe, at least in 1946, the versions with the back seats were called 'Sedan Coupe' (as opposed to just 'Coupe' which had no back seat).
tore-40 ◊ 2020-09-24 09:29	Neither a Coupe nor a De Luxe would have an assist strap so the current listing is verified
