Rumble seats don't make good trunks. When Daddy and I went to Williamsburg for the MARC national meet in 2007 (gosh--was it really eight years ago?) we took the cushions out of the rumble to make more room for luggage. The little Playmate ice chest slid back to the rear and wedged under the closed deck lid, and we almost never got it open. I thought we were going to have to take the front seat out to get the stuff out of the rumble and clear the "clog." We finally got it to let go. Being short and fat also doesn't help when trying to use a rumble for a trunk. I wish I had a real trunk instead of a rumble seat in the standard coupe. Now a sport coupe, or a roadster, or a cabriolet are different.
