Hamp,

I don't think $17,500 is out of range. If you went with $15K in cash she would probably accept it. Figure it this way. You apparently like the car. You could go on a two week exotic vacation in Europe for the same money and get two weeks of memories. Or you could purchase this Coupe, touch it, Drive it, Go to car shows, and keep it for a lifetime of memories!

It will probably not go up in value in the coming years so don't buy it for investment. Life is too short so have the memories instead!

Good Luck!

As far as I know the only cars I've seen called doctors coupes were Model T Fords, and Ford didn't have such a model. I've seen many cars with flattering names put on them by the public which were not factory models. One example of this is the "Cord convertible coupe" which somehow picked up the name "Sportsman".

I am sure this is a 1923 "4 passenger coupe", I have always called them an opera coupe rather than a doctors coupe....Their is just enough room to squeak 4 passengers inside.....The driver left front and perhaps a child on the jump seat right front and in the back a 3/4 bench seat for perhaps two adult....In the "oprea coupe" mode when off to the opera you would have the shuffer driving with the lady in the back with her big opera dress and the jump seat would be let down for more room, there should be a hat box just behind the drivers seat...Anyway, there was no leg room behind the drivers seat was the reason for the built in hat box with the three quarter bench seat in the back....I own a 1923 Hupmobile Opera coupe which I restored a few years back...I even added them there fancy flower vases in the back.

Take care

Checking online I see under history of PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH UNION SPRINGS, ALABAMA, Rev. Willard B. Hurlburt served there 1975-1984. Alway nice to have the history of a car if you can find it.

After doing some more research, it appears that the term "coupe" can refer to any body style and, number of doors, the manufacturer cares to apply.

The reverend Hurlburt was at the first Durant meet in Dearborn Michigan in 1981. I seem to remember him as being colorful in the best Southern preacher tradition. Nice car, price does not seem out of line.
