I'm 6 ft, 225 lbs and somewhat nimble:

My 1929 roadster is completely restored and is border line uncomfortable, especially in the leg room. My knee hits the sterring wheel when I use the brake/clutch. Right now I'm working on a "wooden" steering wheel with an aluminum spider that has a greater dish to it. That if I can adapt it to the '29 2-tooth column (and it is looking very promising....fingers crossed) will get me another inch or so "knee" room!

The 1931 roadster is unrestored but redone cosmetically back in the early 50's. Interior is worn out with the springs poking you in the back unless you use an old style ventilated seat cushion. In pain language the car is comfortable as hell for me!

On both cars with the top up the act of entrance/exit is greatly "enhanced"...should we say. The '29 takes some real contortionist movements for me to do.
