None of the Revell Deuce kits (5W coupe, 3W coupe, highboy roadster) have rumble seats.  The 5W has a separate trunk lid, but it isn't hinged nor are there parts to finish the trunk area.  

OK. Thanks, Mark. Looks like some kit bashing might be required then.

Actually, the 3W coupe (and possibly the roadster) have some funkiness going on with the trunk panel lines.  The panel between the roof and trunk lid on the 3W doesn't have a panel line, but it is "stepped" leaving the "tulip panel" slightly higher than the leading edge of the lid.  I used that "step" as a guide to scribe in a panel line, then knocked that panel down level with the trunk lid.  It's a small short cut with the tooling.  Too, I have seen more recent production 3W kits, the body tooling seems to have a lot of wear and slop to it.  Early, cleaner kits can still be found, those will have cleaner bodies (still need to scribe that upper deck lid line though) and tires with the Goodyear lettering which was later wiped off.
