I initially wanted a Strato-Bucket seat/console car. I almost did not buy my car because of the Strato-Back bench seat. But I read up on it and I liked the unusual-ness of the seat and the color combination of the car.
The armrest with the Strato backs are the best of both worlds really. The seat must be really comfortable?
I'll miss the armrest, but visually, the console will more than make up for that.
I also noticed you have a tilt column BigDog. Nice. So far I only have a floor shift non tilt. Know of anyone with a floor shift tilt 67 Impala column for sale?

Yes, I love my tilt column. I think I got a pretty good deal, too. I traded a drum brake setup, w/spindles, to a guy in Michigan straight-across for column-shift tilt that he tried to convert to a floor-shift column. The column was kind of hacked, but still decent. I sent it to a guy Pennsylvania for a full rebuild. It came out nice.
Look for a 67 or 68 column.

Scroll through the picture to see a regular bench and a Strato-Bench with 4-speed.
