Thanks again for the responses. I believe 36 ply is correct. I feel kinda stupid for not considering the storage space behind the flap located in the rumble seat area. I am adding two pics of this area. I wonder if there was a bracket that clamped to the two bolts exposed in this area as seen in the pics? I'll bet the jack handle has one extra bending "joint", which is different from Tod Fitch's,  due to the smaller storage area in the rumble seat compartment. Thanks again!

Thankyou for the responses. Attached is a pic of the jack and handle. The owner stated it came from a 33 PD Coupe his father bought from a museum. He sold the car and kept the jack. It has 8453 stamped on one side, and Pat No's 1677466 RE. 16050-17050 on the other. I still don't see a "good" place to put it in the car. Thanks again for the responses.


Looks similar in general but differs in details from the one that was in my 1933 PD Two Door Sedan. Mine has "Walker Racine USA" on one side, "Pat. Re. No. 16050" on the other and on the transition from the base to the tube is "B353". I have no idea if it is correct or not, just that it came with the car.

There is enough space behind the rear seat back for these and other items too. I happen to keep a hydraulic bottle jack, cross style lug wrench and small parts/tool kit back there.

Don't know how pertinent this is, but....on my '36 convertible, there is a hinged flap on the inside right side (facing forward) of the rumble seat. That's where I found the jack when I bought the car.

I'd be interested in seeing photos of the jack and jack handle to see if they are anything like the ones that were in my PD two door sedan when I got it.

I don't know were they thought these things should be stowed when the car was new but the only place that makes sense to me is behind the rear seat back. For a business coupe I guess the trunk would work but the rumble seat coupe would have the same issue as a sedan about storage. Is there an equivalent area behind the seat back on the coupes?

A while back I purchased an original jack handle/stand for my 1933 PD R/S coupe. I was wondering where the jack would have originally been stored? I really don't see any ideal location for the jack on the car. Does anyone know where the jack would have been originally stored on this auto? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
