Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: OT a little: Koop or Koopay

As a youngster in Gulfport,Mississippi I had never heard of a Koop, except for chickens, the cars were called a Koopay, French, I assume. Do any of you Model T drivers drive a Koopay, or do you drive a Koop as now I have have learned to do?

The dictionary says either is correct. Coupe is most common. Coupé comes from the French carrosse coupé, literally "cut carriage", a closed carriage for two passengers and a driver.

I usually just use "koop", however sometimes use the longer version "koopay". With mine, I often refer to it as the "well accessorized coupe".



Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

No one has mentioned the Doctor's Koopay. Sorry, every discussion about a tow seat vehicle's got to bring this subject up.

Here, they were called Koop. Koopay was only used by snooty people! :-)

Terry, Mr. Jelf beat you to the Dr koop comment.

Our chicken coop had 3, one for me, one for the chickens and one for the eggs (it was under a lid so guess it could be the trunk)! :-)

Sorry, Gustaf, the only language that I speak or read is English, so I missed it.

Wasn't Dr. Koop the surgeon General for a while?

Yes, and a good one, too.

So if C.Everett Koop had a coupe would it be a doctor's coupe or a Surgeon General's coupe, or just Koop's coupe?

That Everitt Coupe has two horizontal beads below the glass, like a Coupe-let. Or is it Coupe-a-lay? :-)

That EMF coupe' is a fixed top coupe. After Studebaker fully took over EMF and changed the name to "Studebaker" (late 1912/'13), they produced folding top convertible coupes. I do not recall what they called them, however, I have heard them referred to as "coupelets" by a few people. Several of these do still exist, I have seen a couple.
I don't know if EMF produced a folding top coupe or not. But I gotta say, I like that car!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
