Re: getting into the Rumble Seat
I also have a rumble seat that has been used for almost 40 years. The absolute safest way to enter and exit the rumble seat is to stand on the seat . If the seat material is in good shape , you should have no issues. I don’t allow high healed shoes for obvious reasons. Trying to get your foot to reach the floor is asking for trouble,groin pulls ,etc. and dragging your other foot from the fender into the rumble seat is sure to cause damage to your paint job. Use a towel or similar to help keep the upholstery clean if nothing else. This is not a seat for less than agile people,getting in is relatively easy ,getting out is another challenge with its own set of issues. Always use a spotter to guide shoes to the step plates , half on the step plate means their other half is on your fender.
Good luck , Don
