Rumble seat

Additional occasional seating appeared in the latter centuries of evolution of the coach and carriage.

[1] Roadster, coupe and cabriolet car body styles were offered with either a luggage compartment or a rumble seat in the deck.

Folding tops and side curtains for rumble seats were available for some cars[1] (including the two-door version of the Ford Model A) but never achieved much popularity.

Among the last American-built cars with a rumble seat were the 1938 Chevrolet,[6] the 1939 Ford[7] and 1939 Dodge[8] and Plymouth.

[9] The last British built car with a dickey seat was the Triumph 2000 Roadster made until 1949.
