Good research to find that old Bring a trailer listing.
Gives more insight to how it really lived.
Besides the oddity of bench seat , it was also a Flat Hood Car.
Think one or two others have been documented with Flat Hoods , that actually said Tempest Hood, or to that effect, on their PMD documents.
Suppose that data was involved with its special order bulletin P1934.
Would have been awesome if they had that document too.
The next owner replaced the hood .
