"Photo of chassis FR2631 when new, originally published in The Sketch for 23 October 1929. Freestone & Webb called this style with the unusual triangular quarter windows below the dummy landau irons the 'Grafton' coupe. This was intended to give rear compartment passengers at least a glimpse of the passing scene, but quickly fell from favour. Many such coupes later had full windows inserted."
