Looking for some information and pictures of rumble seat in a 1936 Terraplane. I recently acquired a 1936 Terraplane 2 door Deluxe Coupe.  At some point in its history, the addition of a rumble seat was started.  The trunk lid has been reversed and hinges added to convert to a rumble seat.  I also have the seat springs and wooden base and wooden rear structure to attach springs to lid.  I would really appreciate any comments on the questions below.

1) Was the addition of a rumble seat something that was done by a dealer, or was it done at the factory?

2) Would a Deluxe 2 Door Coupe ever be fitted with a Rumble Seat?  Is this a legitimate option or addition to that trim level?

3) Does anyone have a photo of the latch/catch on the top of the rumble seat hatch?  

4) Does anyone have photos/measurements for any of the interior upholstery in the rumble seat compartment?  Were there panels on the sides?  Was the floor carpeted, or was a rubber mat used?  

5) What type of material would have been used to cover the seat cushions on the rumble seat?

Thanks for your help!
