BENTLEY III DROP HEAD COUPÉ.

In connection with the proposal to make one of our Bentley III bodies in the form of a coupé, I mentioned this at Park Ward & Co. when there last Tuesday in connection with the box member for the bottom side of the body, and P.W. & Co. offered to send a blue print of the coupe body they will be showing on a Bentley at the Motor Show, I attach the blue print in question herewith.
