I’m not a fan of mohair either, but it is an indicator of an original car.
My rumble seat appears never to have been used, and it is nalgahide or whatever Ford used there ?
My problem is that there is no room for necessaries with rumble seat in there. In old days, I’d ride two people in rumble when going on picnic or fun run...drive in, etc.
Never would let anyone back there with today’s traffic...so wasted room.

Question: is the ‘Quail’ radiator cap correct for any ‘32 ?
