The car does not have a seat at all in the back. It is referred to also as a "5-window coupe" for whatever reason by Ford. The sedan coupes also have 5 windows. It is also called by some the "short door coupe" and the sedan coupe is the "long door coupe." In 1947 they were only available in the Deluxe model. Although my research is just beginning, and you are correct that I have a long way to go, I am quickly discovering that this could be the most complicated year of all to restore. The little details from early to late '47 are large in number.
