Yesterday's Mid Week Match-Up for Scirocconut got me thinking about 6-passenger vehicles...because in the not so distant past, you didn't have to step up to a van when you had that 4th kid because just about every American built sedan was available equipped with six seat belts. Sure, that small bench seat up front wasn't the most comfortable place in the car, but when I was a kid we always made my little sister ride up there with the parents for reasons that currently escape me, but it probably involved indian burns and might-making-right. Those days are long behind us, but it wasn't until 2013 when the last American sedan with a bench seat rolled off the assembly line and you can still get crew cab pick-em-up trucks with benches.
