That was the best seat! You could flip off and make faces at the motorists behind you without your dad seeing it.
However, when my dad traded in our 76 Torino wagon with vinyl interior, and we got a 1983 Chevy Starcraft Travel van... THAT was awesome. Cocktail tables, shag carpet, captains chairs that weighed 200 lbs each draped in only the finest velour....and 12 MPG. Now they are pedomobiles, back then, they were the ultimate family travel companion.
Me and my sister had ground rules in that van. You don't go near my captains chair on the drivers side, and I won't go anywhere near your seats. My captains chair had access to the TV and VCR switches, but I had to give up access to the rear bench seat / convertible bed for that luxury. Didn't care, I had my switches, my table for choose your own adventure books / hockey cards, and she had her stupid Barbie Benchseat.
