That's a neat pickup conversion of the coupe in photo no4. I wonder haw hard it would be to revert to a coupe if one was to have a change of mind.

Number fourteen is very special! Notice the nice closeup of the early production 1915 oil sidelamp! It is not the earliest style sidelamp used on the early production so-called enclosed body cars. The folding top couplet was likely manufactured in very late calendar 1914 before the open body cars began being built for sale, or possibly been built in January of 1915.
That style sidelamp was used on many of the early open cars in January and February of 1915.

Looking at that photo again (I love looking at that early short time sidelamp!), I notice something else interesting about the car. The paint on the car suggests that it has been around a couple years by then. The hood, which lines up with the cowl, is very fresh and shiny. I sure wish we could see a few more pictures of this car. It appears to have an after-market hood updating set of some sort. I can't see enough of it to know exactly what. Is it one of the hoods that lines up the brass radiator to the cowl? Or maybe a shell covering over the brass radiator also? Or did they go all out and put a fancy radiator on the front as well?
I could be wrong? But I don't think that looks quite like the later Ford hood. However, I do like the car!

The 4th picture from the top is an example of a 24 Coupe with a pickup bed being used in the rear trunk area. I hadn’t seen that but I’ll bet it was done more than we think. I guess you do with what you have and the Coupe owner did just that! It looks like the rear box was used as a tool storage, etc for the tire business that’s on the back of the car.

Used to be a '29 Chevrolet 3 window coupe around here that had a pickup bed in the trunk. It was all-wood, and someone had done a good job of it.
