That is a rumble seat coupe, correct?

No, it is a  number 3  three passenger coupe.  There is not space for a rumble seat.  The 3-5 passenger coupe

 is shaped like a cabriolet.

Here's an 11A version of the Coupe. When it came into the shop I also thought there was no room for a rumble seat. But when I opened the lid, as you can see in the pix, it does indeed have a rumble seat. Just not as roomy as the later designs. A passenger side view would show if there are fender step plates or not.

It is in fact a rumble seat coup. Here is a link from a fairly recent post (Nov. 2022) advertising the car for sale. Everything about this car ticks the right boxes for me but alas, as usual its not in the cards.

My recollection is that it belonged to Gerry Gloekler from Beaver PA.
