It's tagged as a business coupe; the car should NOT HAVE a back seat; instead it should have a burtex covered plywood package shelf attached to the floor where a seat would mount and another burtex covered cardboard wrap wall where the seat back would have gone.  The rear windows should roll up & down.

While it is correct that business coupes shouldn't have a back seat, it was common back in the day to add one after the car's useful business life had ended. Points would be deducted in KFOCI judging when a rear seat is present.

This cars overall appearance would benefit from a good under hood detailing. The engine color is incorrect, among other things.

I like it. But yes, the dash looks like it's been painted and the radio face plate is painted - we know they were originally chrome.  Nothing that would make me turn it away. I like seeing a nice looking "plain-Jane" car like that. I hope it finds a good home.
