Is a storage tray like the attached photo a standard item in a 36 coupe?

Interesting item. Looks like it could have been homemade. Any literature to show it is a Chev sales item? Thanks for the pic.

I agree with Dick. This sure looks like a homemade accessory.

Ken sent me some pictures of the actual tray and it's quite well put together. It uses captured nuts, hardwood, fastening hardware and utilizes existing bolts/holes. Someone put some time tinto it. Bootlegger lol?

If the question is whether this storage area is factory, yes it is. I have one just like it and have seen several others.

That is a correct object. I inspected one in a friends 1936 Coupe.

How was this originally accessed in the car as it appears it would be hidden behind the hardboard liner in the quarter panel. Was there a small removable section of hardboard with screws?

There was a "Flap" that folded down for access.

I have the same tool tray in my 36 Standard coupe. So.. now that we've established that does anyone have a picture of the correct tool kit ?
