Sport Coupe was a high end ''Deluxe'' type model for Ford in 1928,plus that example from your invoice has many extras added that brings up the cost.
Prices varied during the Model A years & in the US you did pay extra for oil,full tank of gas & bumpers plus delivery.
Here in New Zealand, the Sport Coupe was priced the same as a Std. Coupe [ L NZ 260] & only L 15 more than the Tudor [ approx. $US 485] in late 1929. But there was no extra charge for bumpers or delivery anywhere in NZ, which was standard Ford of Canada policy.
