Do you, per chance remember rumbleseats in cars? My grandmother had a real neat Ford coupe wjth a rumbleseat in the back. It looked like a trunk, but when you pulled up on the cover, it exposed the seat back and the seat was underneath. How I loved riding in it! I waved and yelled at everyone we passed!!
Oh yes!
One of my mom's uncles had an old car with one although I can't recall if it was a Ford or some other make.
We kids used to cram it full to go for a ride.
No mandatory safety seats or seat belts in those days!
