thank you Marc! This kids car resembles a Packard, and was factory electric, instead of the basic pedal power




So WHY hasn't anyone replaced the instrument panel in 100 years? This is garbage 


But this is cool, a kids Fatman Tilt lok steering wheel!

Jim Jeffords, former Milwaukee-area racer (SCCA B Prod Champion 1958 and 59 in the Purple People Eater Vette) and manager of AMC’s 1968 Javelin Trans Am campaign, partnered with designer Brooks Stevens, also of Milwaukee, to design the custom AMX-R featuring a Ramble Seat.

Jeffords’ accomplishments are all the more impressive when considering the drivers he competed against. Dan Gurney, Sterling Moss, Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Bob Bondurant, Roger Penske, Ken Miles, and more were all at the top of their game when Jeffords beat them on track.

the Mother in Law seat, there were a couple versions, but they mostly were exposed to the weather and not equipped to keep someone seated in an emergency braking event


This simply takes top honors for the the most spiteful mother in law seat ever made! A 1910 Welch

There was this variety that slid out from the side, and I've seen it on the Kissel and and the Paige Model 6-55 Daytona Speedster


and there was this flip lid on this 1911 Olds Autocrat






the 1910 Matheson had one mounted to the spare tire /5th wheel

and the 1920 Kissel Gold Bug I posted back in 2013

'26 Model T coupe with a rumble seat to show some bunting and ingenuity, things right at home in the USA on Memorial Day

the Model T didn't get factory rumble seats, but when the Model A came along and impressed so many people, some smart people realized that if they reversed the hinge location on the trunk, and installed some seat pads, bingo, they had a nifty rumble seat

the 1965 AMX concept car


starting with the Vignale AMX, worked on by the Torino Carrozzier for display at the 1966 New York Auto Show. It's now owned by Fred Phillips of Canada






and one is in the Crawford Auto and Aviation Museum


notice the gas filler door and door handle are different


about half of these photos I've posted before but with the new ones popping up, I figured it's time to post them all together http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=amx+rumble
