Folks

Sometimes when you ‘peel back the onion’ on a previous restoration you find things that just don’t make sense. So in trying to tidy up the Rumble seat area of my ‘34 Terraplane 4-passenger coupe, I discovered a disturbing short cut. The rumble seat lower cushion frame was secured to the floor with an improvised thin gauge metal strip attached to the wood seat frame and only(!) four #8 x 1/2” screws to the floor. Yikes.

I cannot seem to locate in any of the period parts books a bracket or mounting method for the rumble seat bottom.

Do any of you that have a 34 or 35 Hudson or Terraplane 4-passenger coupe or convertible have any information or pictures that show the correct factory mounting method?

Many thanks in advance!
