Default 1926 Runabout with Rumble Seat ?

When I was young, I enjoyed listening to my Grandad tell stories about his Model T - a 1926 runabout with a "rumpus-seat", as he called it.

I have not seen such a car, and the '25-'27 Ford Runabouts I have seen don't seem to have enough room in the turtle-deck for a rumble seat...

Did Ford offer a rumble seat or would this have been an aftermarket conversion ?


Thanks !

SC Frank

Hi Frank,

I've seen such a thing in photographs, but I'm pretty sure it was an aftermarket conversion.

Lots of info on this forum post from the MTFCA......

pictures of aftermarket rumble seats for '26-'27. The pre-'26 turtle deck was just too small for any kind of seats.
