Talk:Rumble seat

Dicky seat and Rumble seat[edit]

Each of these articles states that these are not the same thing but does not explain the difference. I have always understood that Dicky (Dickey) was the British English and Rumble the US English phrase and so the two are actually synonymous.

Can anyone define the difference or should one of the pages be made a redirect? Malcolma 12:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AS far as I cen tell a dicky seat is for one extra person in a two seater while a rumble seat is for one or two (or more?) and may be in a four seater. // Liftarn

Liftarn: not so far as I know. British dicky seats are frequently for two people. I am not familiar with dicky or rumble seats in four seaters - the typical body design of these cars would not allow a dicky. The illustration of the rumble seat in a Ford A in the Rumble article is the classic British meaning of Dicky Seat, as found in many British two-seaters of the 1920s and a little later.Badger74 17:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As doubt remains over the diferences between Rumble and Dickey seats, if any, I have removed the statement saying they are not the same. Malcolma 13:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference[edit]

I have removed the one "reference" because it is basically an advertisement and not a reliable source. The site is here. But, beware, it usually hangs IE. WTucker (talk) 00:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gaming section?[edit]

Why is the subwoofer seat even in this article. It should be on a disambig page.Bofum (talk) 03:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aviation[edit]

This term is also used for a type of seat on an aircraft: synonym of jump seat. Equinox ◑ 15:39, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
