Projects Bench seat or buckets??

So I currently have this bench seat in my 56 chevy 150. I was told its probably out of an early 60's Chevy. I have been kicking around going with buckets. I like buckets and the wife likes bench what do you think. anybody want to trade???

 

I have a 49 Meteor and a 50 Ford coupe, both cars have 1964 thunderbird front buckets and rear seat.I like tha buckets as long as they are the old style with the chrome around them,and of course low back.

 

There are times when I wish my car had buckets, and times when I wish it was a bench. It all depends on what mood my wife is in that day.

 

Its a car for bench seat. Its not a falcon.

 

Cake has a song called " Stick Shifts and Safety Belts"

Stick Shifts And Safety Belts lyrics
Stickshifts and safetybelts,
Bucket seats have all got to go.
When we're driving in the car,
It makes my baby seem so far.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
But when we're driving in my Malibu,
It's easy to get right next to you.
I say, "Baby, scoot over, please."
And then she's right there next to me.
I need you here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.
I need you to be here with me,
Not way over in a bucket seat.

Nuff said IMHO

 

Back in the day when I was young and ***** I liked bench seats now that I'm an old fart I want comfort ,so got me some buckets for my '54, cause being able to tilt 'em back makes more room for the beer belly

 

56 Chevy = bench seat without a dought.

 

I prefer a bench seat to get ma lady near me. I think its uh hum traditional to have a fine looking Sally riding shot gun right next to you.-Weeks

 

cant get laid in a bucket, at least not comfortably that is

 

Wise words there.

 

Bench seat all the way, that way your girl is sitting next to you, and you can get more of your mates in.

Bench seat for sure in a trifive!

 

buckets are for muscle cars and smaller rods. '50s = bench all the way. I have a 60 and have had this debate running through my head for a while. If I could score a pair of GM buckets from 60-63 with the chrome back frame, then no brainer, but they are NOT cheap. Go bench. My wife told me bench seats as well. nuff said

 

My `55 has shoulder height buckets in it...Thats what I prefer. But I am not the one driving your car either...

 

I think nearly every car I've owned (lots of Mustangs) up to my 40 Merc have had buckets.
The Mercury has the original bench and back seat reupholstered in updated fabrics. It's like sitting in a really compfy sofa. Has some bucket too it too. It fits the character of car perfectly. You can get 3 peeps across too. Try that in a '40 Ford.
I drove it home from the Chicago area to the Twin Cities the day I bought it. 500 miles. No complaints.

 

If you have the stock seat,use it. You will be glad if you ever sell the car.

 

bench seats are always better than bucket seats

 

buckets in a rod, bench in a cruiser.

 

Bench, for sure

 

The bombers are cool on the smaller cars.
Tractor seats if you have bladder issues.

 

Buckets are for coupes, benches are for sedans, wagons are for getting laid in comfortably!

 

I say bench. For obvious reasons.

 

It looks like '62 Chevy patterned material, if you were to ask me.

 

gotta go bench. my wife hated my catalina untill i asked her to ride with me to get a pizza. when she cuddled up all close with my arm around her she fell in love with the cat.

 

I have 1963 Impala buckets in my 55 now,

BUT

I have the bench seat in the barn !

 

thats what the back seat is for aint it?

but i would agree bench in anything 50's

 

I had buckets in a 55 150 and didn't care for them at all. Always wished I would have had a bench.

 

I have a '63 T-Bird but I like bench seats better.
If you like girls you need a bench seat!

 

Floor mounted shifter = bucket seats

Column mounted shifter = bench seat

 

I say bench seat.
