Indeed, as is my lonely pacer Wagon [g] As an afterthought, your picture 
link above, brought to mind an event where a bunch of friends decided to 
go to a sports car race event at an abandoned air field and I was picked 
up in a 1931 or 32  air cooled Franklin.. can't remember if straight 6 
or eight, but it was one massive engine.. poor thing had seen better 
days, and was missing the rear mounted trunk, and then we had a flat on 
a freeway, but had to call a tow truck to change it, as the giant wire 
wheels could not be lifted with a regular jack.. ah, them was the days [g]

 Probably close to this, but I can't see if there is a trunk at the rear..
