Memories of Bench Seats in Cars

[Mat]

My Holdens all had bench seats so you could seat six, three in the front three in the back.

Nice looking interior. My 71 Mustang had a similar color but slightly darker and it was called cinnamon.

you had some lovely cars in the usa - we in UK were rather staid and serious

Staid? Depends what your budget ran to. (It's an MG WA.)

Similiar experience... 66 charger. Front and rear seats folded completely down. Handy to have your bed with you.

Cool car. Yeah, it was also fun going to the drive-in movies. Flop the front seat down, and just sit in the back seat like it was a lounger with your feet up. Good times.

Well, in my defense, I felt that it was my civic duty to test out the Rambler seats for versatility, usefulness, and defects, in the event I was ever consulted for a review. For the historical record ......I found them to be quite a remarkable invention.

I've was told long ago, but I still don't know if it's true, that outdoor theaters would not allow Nash Ramblers into the theater.

Ha ha .... There were likely lots of things that weren't allowed in outdoor theaters.

They were great cars. That was only one of the four that passed through our life. (3 were 1966 and one was 1967)
