For us here in Germany it is always a bit strange when we look over US old car galleries or classifides, the first thing (most) americans seems to do when they buy an old car/truck is, to bolt in
1. a drop column,
2. a tiny "Mickey Mouse" steering wheel
3. bucket seats.
I mean, this seems to be so common that it became sort of a running gag over here.
I know there are many beautyfull trucks out there with original equipment and Mustang clips, power steering and all are a comon modification over here to, but no one would come to the idea to do this drop column thing. Not to mention one of this "sport" sterring wheels.
And there is nothing like a big bench seat.
Cruising along a country road, sweet Bob Wills from the radio and your girl in your arm.
Try this with bucket seats. Her "rear end" half way down on the floor. I bet it`s not getting that romantic. :rolleyes:
Why do they do that?? :confused:
