Bench or buckets ?

If a front bench doesn't include the fold down center arm rest it may as well be buckets IMO.
The factory center console is about worthless. I'm not going to put the bench back in but I want to do something different for a console even if that means moving the automatic shifter back up to the column.
I think you would need to drive with either arrangement for some time to recognize the differences.


pic 1 and 2 is my 68 dart and your right that after driving with both combos i didnotice a big difference ....the bench does sit up higher ......with the buckets i need a booster pillow bcoz i am a small person ( almost 4' 10") with the buckets i have to move it all the way foward and use booster pillow, with the bench i could set it to one notch from the end and still be comfy ....i could see the hood with the bench but not so much with the bucket.

but your right that the personality of each and car will be different .......good point
