Oh for the good old days without bucket seats and center console. So you could snuggle up while you drove.

Exactly! It was fun just driving around with her snuggled up next to me.

@exexec they would probably call that distracted driving now.
I'm tired of the institute of highway safety.

@Baremine I was definitely distracted, but we were on isolated rural roads with no other vehicles in sight.

My Willy's pickup has one of those seats in it. I never noticed when I was a kid but when I got older I realized you can't adjust the seat for shit. If you want it forward the passenger has to help you move it. That little wire under the seat that Dodge had that connects the two locking mechanisms wouldn't work for crap either after a few years. Fortunately with the Willy's you're not going to move that seat anyway there just isn't any room in there to move it. The seats are the very least of what's wrong with 21st century cars.

I miss the lap belts.

Baremine · 70-79, C

@shinyplasticlove my 51 Chevy didn't have them either.

So cheap and easy to maintain. I kind of like having the headrest though.

Yes!

You can still get one .. or write the car manufacturers asking them to bring them back..

Baremine · 70-79, C

@YoMomma they won't pass the safety rules without the headrest. But the headrest makes it so you can't put your arm around your girlfriend and play with her breast while cruising.

@Baremine oh
