C9x, my wife is 4' 8" tall and weighs 105 lbs and we have a 19 month old boy. So if we are all to ride at the same time I absolutely have to have a rumble seat. If we had no children I would never give up the trunk because room is so limited. I am going to have a hidden trailer hitch built into my vehicle so I can tow a small tear drop trailer when we travel to hotrod shows. I am going to purchase a 40 to 50's style of trailer. Believe me, I have run into all kinds of fitment issues in converting my trunk into a rumble seat. The hinge kits do not fit right & the Brookville tech said just to take a crowbar and pry the braces closer together. Needless to say I am not taking that advice.
