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.[[User:Badger74|Badger74]] 17:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC) |

Dicky seat and Rumble seat
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)
