Then factor in that only less than 38k 68B/C Cabriolets and less than 50k 50B Sport Coupes were made. Again, just not that many when comparatively speaking.

My 30 Deluxe coupe has upper lid bumpers on corner brackets attached with waffle peened rivets. It also has the rumble lid aligning plates. Would these have been present from the factory if it had a trunk?

Yes I know they could have been subsequently added.
