Any vintage RUMBLE SEAT experts? What are those "foot-pegs" called on the fender?
I'm sitting at LA's Farmer's Market having a cigar with my regs, and this guy comes up to us, interrupts me in mid-story, and shows us a photo of a 1937 Packard ( I think ) with a rumble seat.
Along the right rear fender, you can see two foot pegs, that you stepped on to climb into the seat without scratching the paint on the fender. This guy wants to know what they are called (apparently, they were called something besides "foot pegs"- hopefully as colorful a term as "rumble seat").
How is that for an obscure question?
No one at our table knew, and so far, nothing turns up on a Yahoo search.

I think they were called "rumble seat steps", step plates, or step pads depending on the manufacturer. They were usually nickel or chrome plated and bolted directly to the body.
