Bench Seats Across Cars​

Did you ever slide across a car's bench seat, trying to grab the perfect spot next to your sweetheart or pile in with friends for a drive to nowhere in particular? They were like sofas on wheels—wide, spacious, and perfect for everything from road trips to late-night joyrides. Do you ever miss those bench seats? Share your thoughts about this here!

Our first date was in December 1971. He picked me up at my dorm in his brand new 72 Hunter Green Chevy Nova. He came to my dorm to have me come down to meet him walking to his car. He opened my door and when around to get in. It was our first date, mind you. His car had awesome bench seats front and back. We went from the Air Force base to a sm town dinner. Then we went to see Christmas lights in the largest city near us. Great memories! It took several more dates before I slid over next to him. We were en by New Year Eve. Since neither of us could be in each other’s dorms because the military was NOT coed then, he brought me to his car to propose to me! We had that 72 Chevy Nova for many years. We traveled in it and every thing else in our car with those wonderful bench seats!
