TRUE DAT! Check out the late-60s GM buckets in my latest acquisition (67 Corvair Monza 140/4-speed). They're totally flat and super narrow, and lean back too far (no adjustments). Have to hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands on the corners. What was GM THINKING? The low-back buckets these replaced were almost flat, but wider. I have a pair of those that will go in this car. I'll miss the Lear buckets I modified and installed in the 68 I just gave to my kid (gonna miss the car too).
