VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1937-1945 37-38 coupe gas filler door/cap

Can someone tell me, or even better post a pic of where the gas filler is on a NON business coupe?

I know where the biz coupe filler is, but i read somewhere that the other coupes have a different tank and filler.

Thanks

The Business Coupe and Sport Coupe were the only coupes in '37 & '38. If you're referring to the modern corruption of the term "coupe" and are wrongly applying it to anything with two doors I believe the Town Sedan and Coach had the filler in the fender. Here is what looks to be a Town Sedan.

Yes. The SPORT Coupe and Cabriolet coupe convertible have the gas tank in the extreme rear of the car. The business coupe has it behind the front seat

notice no gas filler in the business coupe location

I didn't know that about the sport coupe Steve, thanks for correcting me. If you look closely at your second link you can see the filler cap on the fender.

No , I'm not. I do know the difference between a coupe and a sedan.

Thanks,that answers the question nicely.
Boy that manual link is pretty handy.

So you were asking about the sport coupe then? If so my apology for my misunderstanding. So many people today call any two door a coupe that it's easy to jump to conclusions.
