She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

We can only guess what happened.

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

My kind of girl! I never knew spooning was dangerous tho.

The big question is- how in the hell did anything happen in the rumble seat, unless it was a Lincoln or some other large car.

What will her Mama think!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

It can be anywhere. Just be creative!!!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Wheres theres a will ,theres a way :D

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Interesting, and from a book dated 1931.

She might be someone's great Grandma, being about 90 by now.

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

I told you guys rumble seats are dangerous.

This is a good argument against enthusiasts converting Fords with trunk to rumble seat.

If she was 18 in 1931, then she would be 100 years old today.

Spooning leads to Forking!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

I can hear it now:

Girl: Well Mom, Dink was driving so fast and the wind was so strong it just ripped my clothes to shreds:o.

Mom: Oh, I see dear, and you just decided to stop at the beauty shop and get your wind blown hair done while you were half naked:rolleyes::mad::mad::mad:.

While visiting the local retirement home, I was opening my roadster rumble seat with a sweet little lady watching. I remarked that it was called the rumble seat and she replied with a bit of a blush and a twinkle in her eye..."Oh yes, I remember the rumble seat...! I think I blushed then. We had a great time visiting.;)

My 75 year old neighbor was a guy who was always putting his wife down or embarrassing her in some way.

The two were out walking one summer day and passed my driveway were I was loading some neighborhood kids for a ride in my '30 Coupe's rumble seat.

Thinking that he could make her blush in front of the adults that were near the car, he nudged her and said "Remember when we used to do it in the rumble seat?"


She didn't even crack a smile as she responded "You never were any good ! "

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Yes but they are not hers. :D

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Hmm, NOW I understand....why she told me to get rid of the rumble cushions!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Yep, it sure can.

I love that poster.

This is 90 year old Andy from the retirement home.
I believe he was trying to convince my wife to stay in the rumble seat too long.

We almost came to blows.

I'm going send in my dollar for the pamphlet today!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Try doing it in a 75 Pinto (not a hatchback or wagon either)- Rumble seat would have been a cake walk

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

At least her hair did not get messed up! Great old advertisement!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Getting Andy in there was the easy part.

Getting Andy out....well, that's another story. :D

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

I would have thought it would have been a piece of cake, rather than a cake walk...

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Sure glad that I drive a 31 pickup. No more scrapes and bruises!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Here -- Here ! ! !

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

that's why pick-ups have "tail" gates

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

This can go one of two ways- let's think about this the right way!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

How about "Easy as Pie"!!???

I once gave an older lady a ride in my 1930 Coupe with a rumble seat at the Iola Old Car Show. She was very knowledgeable about Model As. She told me that she often double dated and rode in the rumble seat. I was a bit hesitant but asked her anyway how could anyone "Rumble" in the rumble seat as there is not enough room. She looked at me, giggled, smiled, and said "You'd be amazed" She looked away and kept giggling. That memory will always make me giggle a bit but for a different reason.

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

And sit in the rumble seat,too! :) sorry, couldn't resist.

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

i am 21 & do not even know what this is?
i do know one thing though, she jumped out of the seat too soon while the car was still moving & that was how her clothes got ripped.

"....out in the backseat of my '60 Chevy...."

It is important to note - that if that woman had not "Stayed in the Rumble Seat too long !" - I would not be here ! ! !

Not by accident, but the 'Rumble Seat' was also often called "The Mother-in-Law Seat". That was before late '31 - when the rear window DID NOT roll down, and all her 'pearls of wisdom' were left 'blowin' in the wind'.

Yet one more bit of trivia, now long lost: for those who insist in both 'spooning' and in inter-active living-history - you should know that while in the Front Seat - there can still be room for 'action'. The gear shift stick, while normally in the way, can be, with a little bit of manly force, pulled up and turned out of the way - clearing the way for more manly manuveuring.

There is a lot of history that has not made it into books !

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

I shall evert my eyes at the proper moment!!!!

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

I just love all the history. The barn is always so educational. :)

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

The participants were also more than likely a-young b-flexible c-not 50-100 pounds overweight like most folks are today.

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Have you ever seen the rumble seat on a 36 Ford? It's huge.

Re: She stayed in the rumble seat too long
 

Now 5window...50-100 pounds overweight sure as heck wouldn't of stopped anyone in the heat of the night!

This reminds me of the time I was washing my 1929 Standard Coupe with Rumble Seat at a car wash in Chico, California back in 1982.

All of a sudden this 80 year old lady came by and noticed the car and came over to look at it. She asked me if it had a rumble seat and I said yes, would you like to see it? She said "Oh yes". So I opened the deck lid and she showed me a big smile. She said "Sonny...The stories I could tell you about that rumble seat!". I said "Mamm, there is no doubt you surely could".

Hmmmmmmm...Maybe she is the lady in the picture!
