Straight bench seats! I swear I am going to take one out of an old Dart and bolt it into some car I own in the future. Family cars should seat at least six legally.

I've driven vans for years and the last pick up I owned was a 1985. My dad passed last year and left me his 95 F-150. I took an all day driving trip in it with my cousin and my small dog that weighs about 20 pounds. The bench seat got crowded. My dads first truck a 71 F-100 4 adults could sit in if necessary and three rode real comfortable. Cars built today I can't hardly get in and out of and I'm not that darn big.

My mom had also driven vans for a long time { we had full sized ones} and she wanted something easier to drive like a car. I told her you really don't want a car. I told her to get an SUV instead. Dad and I located her a 98 Tahoe last year and she really loves it. It rides and handles like a dream also easy to get in and out of.

The cars of the 70's and earlier were built higher off the ground and that plus more leg room inside made them easier to get in and out of.

Yikes her Tahoe is about a 2003 not a 1998.

My wife wanted a car because it is so windy here. I picked up a southern '94 Chevy Caprice station wagon (seats 8) with the 350 engine. Last full sized station wagon series made. She loves it.
