Hope everyone's having a fine Monday. I am looking for some photos of the space under the seat cushion on 1919-22 suicide door coupes. How much space should be there? Is it a storage compartment or is it somewhat useless?

And if you got a suicide door coupe you are proud of, share photos of the whole machine if you'd like. Now all of them are at least 100 years old.

FYI, 1923 Coupes are the same bodies as 19-22's.

These are some I took of mine. I believe it is close to correct.

Thank you much for the photos, from what I can see the space under the seat is negligible.

It's about the same as this coupelet.

Thank you kindly Rich, that is very helpful. Maybe one could make a drop floor to increase the area of the compartment? Maybe not with the driveshaft there? I will do some more research and testing.

There is a metal panel for the bottom. Mine had been cut for such a purpose. There is some room above the drive shaft or more on each side if you choose.
