Bench seats had seat belts in the middle.
seat belts alone are not as safe considering the side bags and front bags you get with a bucket seat
Sorry bud, all I've got are good girls who are cute dogs
good girls who are cute dogs
That may not be what they meant.
No bitches
Had a girlfriend when I was in highschool who was too old for me, had an old Chevy Blazer and loved the Cake song Stickshifts and Safetybelts. Everything about her was fun on a bench seat.
too old for me
Dude did you have sex with your teacher?
Summer job coworker
Ah that makes a lot of sense, actually.
That is literally the only way for that to happen. Yes.
Bench seating: what you use when Captain's chairs are just not uncomfortable enough for your tastes.
It's all good until safety is a consideration
Which is the answer to much of "why modern cars are the way they are."
There's a bit of a survivor bias for old stuff.
I'd love to own a Chevy suburban from the old days. I'd just drive it slow lol
This exactly.
Bench seats are great for hanging out with afore mentioned dog and/or girl.
Bench seats are super shitty in any sort of side impact collision. There's nothing keeping you in place except your safety belt.
So kind of like the backseat of most modern vehicles?
Ever look at the back seat of a modern vehicle? It's almost never a flat bench. There's indentations, they're just less deep than the front seat.
Yea, I own several. And they are not indented.
