Is there storage under the rear seat of a Tudor?

[roccaas]

Looking at one for a friend and other than adding the toolkit over the front splash guard, I can't figure out where to keep the Jack, extra belts and bulbs, etc.

Doesn't have a rack or steamer trunk.

Thanks

you can lift the rear seat and theres quite a bit of room under it
only trouble is that raising and lowering the seat wears the side panels out

Yes, I believe you can remove the seat cushion and put stuff under the seat. There is not a lot of room, but enough to get some stuff in the space.

Good place for the crank , jack, & other stuff I don't need on a regular basis as my rear seat bottom doesn't tuck in place easily .

When u check out the car remove the rear seat bottom to look down in the quarter body pockets with a flash light for rot, half ass panel repairs etc...

The tool box over the front splash guard will hold your jack, belts , tools, wheel chocks, etc. The one I got from Mike's is ~9" at the deepest point. Wouldn't recommend carrying bulbs in there tho... I carry a spare HL bulb in the door pockets, other bulbs are LED (Except the Halogen Sport Lite, which I don't carry a spare for).

What do you do when you have to crank your engine?

Haha, Well Ray. Thankfully I have never run into that problem... yet. Probably the same thing I would do with my Modern.

With my '29 Tudor I removed the rear seat and built up a compartment with what looks like a 1 x 8. I put a piece of plywood on top of that for a seat. With foam cushions on that, it makes a reasonably comfortable ride for rear seat passengers. I have good shocks. Lots of storage room for spare parts, tools, and flea market purchases.

In the 5 years I have had my rig, it has been hand cranked once -- just to say we did it.

I do it at car shows all the time to show the "kids".

I seldom raise the driver seat so the tool bag, crank and jack all fit under it. I don't carry a lot of stuff with me but if I did, it would go under the rear seat.

Interestingly this was my first time looking at a Tudor (or any closed car). Is there storage under the driver's and passenger's (front) seats also?

I did pivot the driver's seat in order to slide into the rear seat (what a unique experience when all I'm familiar with is Rumble City), but I didn't notice any storage space.

Not like the tray under the seat of my Cabriolet. (Hey look, I found some bullets...)

I have a Tudor I use the space under the back seat. I carry carb, distributor and a belt. The question I have has anybody installed the extra storage boxes that fits into the rear floor boards ? That the vendors sell.

But Ray since you are so concerned about me to inquire, I carry one of these when I venture too far from home

I wasn't worried. I have considered getting one of those boxes for my A but have always wondered about the cranking issue. I seem to have lots of occasions where I have to use my crank. i just wondered what guys do who have a box like that. What is that electric thing?

Ray check out the link to Costco in my last post. It has a Lithium Battery in it that will crank your engine if you have a dead battery. It's only 3"x5"X1" so it's easy to carry. It will charge your cell phone or iPad also.

Yes, I have my crank, some tools jack etc.. not large but better than nothing..

To carry a crank is good,, but if you think you might have a problem starting , look for a place to park where you can roll it off.
