The little Playmate ice chest slid back to the rear and wedged under the closed deck lid, and we almost never got it open. I thought we were going to have to take the front seat out to get the stuff out of the rumble and clear the "clog." We finally got it to let go. Being short and fat also doesn't help when trying to use a rumble for a trunk. I wish I had a real trunk instead of a rumble seat in the standard coupe. Now a sport coupe, or a roadster, or a cabriolet are different.
This morning, both arms are bruised, my back is killing me and the rumble is back where it will stay, stay and stay!!! I doubt if I will ever open it up again. I might weld it shut but I'll still have the whitewalls to impress the ladies!!!!!
