"Love it".
Great find Bill.
This may lead to another question... Does car insurance cover accidents, that happen in the back seat? Lol . Jeff

Even I couldn't handle something like that in a rumble even when I was 25. More power to those that do, did and still can. I have my limits!!!!

Is a high resolution copy of that available?
Would be nice to get some small posters made of it.

The image I have is only 30kb, so it would not enlarge well.

The above rumble seat image was circulated as a wall poster in the late 1970's. I had that same poster in our museum for years. I think it got buried by the decades of accumulation of collectibles. I think that the poster measured about 16" X 20" or a little smaller.

I have two full size copies of this famous poster. One is on display in my home's Library of old car books and literature. The other I keep in the 'Package shelf' behind the seat-back of my '31 Dlx Coupe. I often have people who ride in my rumble seat. I have them look the poster over - reading it carefully and thoroughly - and them have them sign a 'Disclaimer' !

Considering the number of posts on here from people who have trouble even getting into their Model As I'm impressed that anyone can do any more than just squeeze into the 'Dickie' (rumble) seats.

Did I read the poster wrong or did you others? The state in which the lady is and the below captions says to me, she "stayed too long in the rumble".
