When is the last time you saw a car with bench seats?

I saw this and laughed hysterically.

So.........When was the last time you saw a car with bench seats?

That's pretty funny. I guess they're keeping that around for parts, and most of the money is probably in the front end.

I pulled parts out of a '98+ Park Avenue to repair my mom's car that had bench seats. And I want to say that a coworker rented an '08 or '09 Malibu, Impala or some kind of Chevrolet that had them too.

Probably on its way to be spliced together with an Aveo that was hit hard in the front. I see half cars hauled from the part of town where the boneyards heading to the part where most of the body shops are all the time.

It would be fun to build a racing simulator with that...

You can still get most pickup trucks with front bench seats, although when I bought my truck, there were only available in the "work" truck.

The fastest car I ever owned had bench seats. 87 Turbo Regal.

Whats funny about that picture, (to me) is that when I see an Aveo, I think that they must have used park bench seating to design the overall shape of the car, it is so amazingly upright and ugly
