Trunk vs rumble seat...

[Oldbluoval]

The "romance" of a rumble seat is WAY over-rated.

A. They are hard to get in and out of, period (well, unless you are less than 15 years old)
B. They are dangerous to ride in them. In an accident, one could be decapitated or thrown into the front panel
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?

Well, yeah, you gotta have a rumble - there's no windows in a roadster for the dog to stick its head out!

I've never had a trunk but I did have a rumble and yeah, this ^^^ - never again! (Course E. applies to pretty much every A, except maybe the back of an AA. )
