Re: getting into the Rumble Seat
The rumble seat was likely better for kids to set in. I know I don't fit well into mine. A lot of folks put the top props for roadsters on the side rails so that folks will have a handle but they weren't really made for that purpose. Some folks jokingly referred to the rumble as a mother in law seat but most mothers in law would have a hard time getting in and out of there.
My first ride in a rumble seat was as a young cub scout in a parade throwing out candy. There were two of us seated in there. One of the elders of my church had an old Chrysler series 70 Coupe. It was a lot of fun but I just barely fit and I wasn't finished growing yet. By the time I was 13 it would have been a little too tight.
