Hi Jimo.

I am very interested in the rumble seat lid. Mine is all banged up and rotted out on the bottom. If you want to make a deal for it now please let me know. If you think you can sell it at the meet then go ahead, but I'm in real need for one now. What are you asking for it?

Thanks,
Ray

Mike, I have '31 Rumble Seat padding and upholstery complete new Hampton Coach. I purchased the complete rumble seat package but only used the cardboard panels. The upolstery from my first restoration was still so good I chose not to replace it. $175.00 plus shipping.
e-mail me at Jimokoontzaol or call (937) 426-5889 Jim

Jim: if i buy your rumble seat padding and upholstery, will hampton sell me the cardboard seperatly (as i need them also)? i take it you do not have the spring assembly for the backs of passengers riding in the rumble seat. thanks, mike

Mike, I just ordered the complete kit without thinking. The complete kit was $357.00. Hamptons Check Off Sheet for placing an order lists for the rumble seat 1 front panel, this is the one that attaches to the back of the front seat. It lists 2 side panels. From that I assume I could have ordered just the panels. No, I do not have any springs sorry.
See you down the back roads. Jim VCCA # 28

Mike,
Check out Gaslight Auto Parts http://www.gaslightauto.com
or Snyders Antique Auto Parts http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com. As I remember one of them has made or had them made. The are Model A & T Fourd suppliers but also have a few parts that fit our old Chevys. I have used Snyders for many, many years.

If they don't have them then Car-line Manufacturing & Distribution, Inc. (409) 833-9757 ask for Paul. He can make them if he has a pattern. He had a pattern for the 1931 Roadster at one time but not sure about the Cabriolet, Coupe rumble seats. You may need to get a pattern or drawing if he does not have one.

Please post any success or failure.

I just purchased rumble seat springs for my 31, 5 window coupe. Both the seat and the back from Hampton, in stock and reasonable. The only thing that I did not get is a wooden frame that goes on the trunk lid before the spring.

i ordered and received the rumble seat back wooden frame and spring from hampton and installed the padding and vinyl i got from jim. perfectly satisfied with outcome. mike
