Great car. Question; is every Ford coupe an 'opera' coupe, or only the one's with a fold down seat?

The 40 fords with a package shelf and without the jump seats are not Opera coupes, they are business coupes

Looks a lot like a car my Grandma had back in the 50s. She called it Black Beauty.

On May 7, 2011, there were two identical twin 1940 Ford coupes parked outside a hamburger cafe at Roseville, MN. They were side-by-side and were mirror images of each other. Black cars with wide white sidewalls. One had an extra grill guard above the front bumper, otherwise they seemed to be exact copies. In the early 1950's I had a 1936 Ford five window coupe, and later a 1940 Plymouth business coupe, so I enjoy seeing cars like that 60 years later.
