General Motors recently announced that they would be discontinuing the use of front bench seats in its vehicles. The company's Chevrolet Impala was the last car in the U.S. to come with this option, but the next model will feature bucket seats instead. In fact, the bench made the Impala the only sedan sold in America that offers six-person seating, according to Forbes.

"There is a certain nostalgia for bench seats, like being able to snuggle up with your date at a drive-in movie, and some customers still like them," said GM's design director, Clay Dean. "You never know, we might see bench seats re-emerge someday, possibly even in small cars like the EN-V urban mobility concept vehicles, in which the feeling of open space may be very desirable."

Chevrolet told Forbes that the Impala's front bench seat, which has been an option on the brand's sedans since the first Chevy (the Series C Classic Six) rolled off the production line in 1911. Approximately 10 percent of Impala buyers these days opt for the feature, which is an added cost for new car buyers.

Those in the market for a used model may be able to find one with a bench seat already installed. New Jersey Auto Auction carries a wide variety of makes and models, so there's a good chance drivers will be able to find a care that suits their needs. The dealer also has guaranteed credit approval, thanks to partnerships with many major lenders.
