    Anyone have any pictures of Customs/kustoms with rumble seats?

    On the cover of one of the early 60's Custom mags is a pic of a red 60 Chevy convertible where the trunk was done up as a rear seat. Not technically a "rumble seat" per se.

    Oh!!! Please! I'm thinking 30s-40s customs but haven't seen many with a rumble seat. 36 fords look cool anyway you do them but a few makes did Coupes with seats. Its were the smelly people sat lol.

    Thanks Codeblu, will check that out. I'm a 60s child and remember my dad having a rear seat with a picknic table aswell. Something car manufacturers have missed out on!!!

    We must be close in age because I remember that convert. It was a cover car for one of the eastern little mags. I think it might have been Customs Illustrated

    '39 Ford converts had rumbles and plenty of those were kustoms.

    If I were to build an all out custom the rear fenders would be welded to the body, and there would be no trunk lines for the smoothest possible look.

    That's one fine 34 Rickybop! The Duval makes it! Just saw a thread on Alex Xydias's Jewel and thought it was this car.
