Starting to think of interiors. how common is it for buckets in a 4 door. Wife and I want to cruise in comfort so I'm thinking of puttting them in ours. If I do than I am thinking of a console and floor shift instead of column. now's the time to narroe this syuff down.
Thanks

Go with your hart, if you like buckets don't forget the lumbar, for those long rides

Not real common,but I've seen a few over the years!Even seen them with 4 buckets(front and rear).
I certainly don't see anything wrong with them in a 4 door.
Since you have the room,how 'bout swivel buckets?Easy in and out!
I say go for it!

I have '64 Olds Cutlass buckets, '63 Impala console, '69 Camaro 3 speed trans with a Hurst floor shifter in my '57 4 door wagon. I love it, wouldn't want it any other way.

Most newer cars (4 doors) have buckets

I traded my 99 tahoe in for a new truck this winter and they had the most comfortable seats I'vew ever had. thinking of measuring those for the BA of my sister had swivel buckets in a 76 Monte Carlo. maybe something along those lines.

Dave,that's why I suggested the swivel buckets.I bought a 76 Monte Carlo new(Landau)that had them.Like to have another set.
I do have 2 65,Impala S.S. auto consoles if you decide.I don't have the shifters.
