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)[reply]

I am certain that rumble seat is the American term for the British dickie seat and vice versa. So, yes, one should be a redirect to the other, and the differing British and American terminology should be mentioned at the head of the article. The sentence in each saying that each is NOT the same as the other must be deleted. Badger74 17:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
