We have a new to us 1916 Touring and under the rear seat is a compartment. Should there be a metal cover on this area?
Thanks,

Re: Compartment beneath rear seat.
Our 11/15 (1916) touring does, so I would say "yes"
this car is a pretty much as-is vehicle and I've found very little "wrong" with it, so I'm inclined to believe that the hinged, stamped-steel cover on ours is correct.

Re: Compartment beneath rear seat.
Campbell,
Generally, yes.
There were covers for both the front and back seat hatches in 1916. Depending on the manufacturer, the seat frame and covers would be made of either wood or steel. You likely will find remains of hinges or holes for mounting the hinges.
