Culture
The bench seat--as well as some other older car features--are celebrated in the song Stickshifts and Safety Belts by Cake. The bench seat, steering column mounted shifter, and lack of seat belts are praised, as this allows a loved one to sit in contact with the driver. However, most modern bench seats do provide seat belts for all occupants.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.”
—Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
