I've seen old grainy photos of the accessory canopies for rumble seats but haven't seen one in person. Anybody here know if somebody produced those things in the recent past or know where one could be found?
Seems like a parade pleaser if one could lay their hands on one. |

It is called a Tux-away. There have been some reproduced on a 'onesie' or 'twosie' basis that have been loosely built on the Tux-away concept. To accurately replicate the tracks and the irons is going to be challenging at best.

I saw one at the Model A museum show 3 years ago. Hickory Corners, MI. I would check with Classtique Upholstery in MN, they could probably help. Bill

I have a Tux-away that came with my Cabriolet. I was told it was original but I don’t know that it may well be a reproduction. At a major car show several years ago I was offered $1000 for it. Wayne

One of our club members has one on his roadster for wet weather. I looked away when his daughter (in a tight skirt) was trying to get out. The word "contortionist" came to mind.

Oh sure, I would have looked away too, after I videoed it!
![]() MCmimcs, do you have any photos of the tuxaway installed on your Cabriolet that you can share? |
