C. They leave no feasible room for storing much of anything.
D. They run up the cost of a resto.
E. Too small and cramped for romance (that's where I started this!)

Want to hear my diatribe on side-mounts!!!!!
Oh, no! I opted for the rumble seat and side mount because they were unique to the era. How could I have gone so wrong?
