Order Your 1967 Camaro With A Bench Front Seat To Go With The Column Shifter

Chevrolet made some interesting choices when it introduced the Camaro. The base model had an interior more worthy of a taxi cab, especially the steering wheel, to ensure buyers would more likely check of the Custom Interior package. But where the Camaro really deviated from the Mustang interior formula was with its column shifter for the Powerglide automatic, and an available “Strato-Back” bench front seat. Why? Did you have to ask?

    In Europe we have a car with 3 bucket seats in the first row: The Honda FRV http://www.google.es/images?hl=es&q=%22Honda+FRV%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=TRHOS_XnNImYmAPJw7kT&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CB8QsAQwAw ...for sex we have the rear seat. It is "usable" for this purpose even in a small econobox like the Peugeot 205 (yes, I know), because you can pull forward all the way the 2 aft seats. Et voilá!. Limousine-grade space in a humble 205. But -frankly- with the benefit of hindsight I concluded that if you are not on the mood to pay for a hotel room to spend a night with her, maybe you are not having sex with the correct lady. My 2 EuroCents. "A man and woman sitting snuggled up next to each other on a bench seat in a pick-up truck have more personal contact than the couple strapped down in the low bucket seats of any Italian sports cars." Sure, and they also can get more "personal contact" with their heads against the windshield in case of a crash. Cars are not bedrooms, love motels of romantic places. Cars are dangerous machines. Treat them with respect and have your mortal body "strapped" to the car all times.

    I believe I may name my first born "Strato."

  • MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
  • MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
  • 28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
  • MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
