Like the buckets but not the baby blue. 

Fortunately with a neutral color interior there are lots of choices to make a color change.

Ueah, you could paint it brown to match the dash and carpets.

See, now for down here, that's a perfect combo. Light outside and light inside. That's the same seller I bought my 70 deVille from.

As for painting the outside 'Old Man Brown'?   :No: :No:

Either the Detroit News or Free Press had an article today about the end of bench seats.

Both buckets and bench seats have their advantages. However, with the 50/50 or 60/40 seats you basically get the best of both worlds. I prefer the 50/50 myself.

As long as I have an armrest. I've passed on good cars because of no right armrest in the seat.

"Radio makes noise."

Isn't that what they're supposed to do?

Then you have to be one of two things, Joe. A skinny ass, or a fat ass.

Buckets usually mean console.

Console usually means, no babe sitting right next to you.

I love my bench seat Cadillac.   :yes:

   I know what you mean , the 70 is like your sitting on a couch . , do you like your buckets in your F150?

Oh ueah. What's not to like? The console is like that of a Talisman including 110V power too.

The split bench with fold down armrest is the best of both worlds. Then if you have an armrest that doubles as a storage bin, that's all the better. Why I love the Dual Comforts in the '70 Fleetwood, the split bench in the '90 and those fantastic seats in the '94. The seat cusion moves separatly from the back, the back has 3 inflatable lumbar supports, has power recline and is heated.
