Re: leg room in roadster
My 1928 Phaeton with windwings and the top up is about as cramped as a '28-29 roadster pickup would be, especially the narrow doorway. Even at 5'10" and of average weight (so far!), it can be a challenge for me getting in and out. I find the best way is to do a reverse bail out - the head goes in first, right hand on the seat for support, followed by the right leg and then once seated, swivel and swing the left leg through the doorway. To exit, I "bail out" head first, followed by the left foot on the running board. The right leg follows naturally. I have tried other methods of entry and egress, but this one works best for me.
By the way - It's FAR easier for me to enter and leave my '31 Deluxe Roadster than the Phaeton.
