My experience with swivel seats...



One of the bosses where I worked at the time had one of those with swivel seats. I don't think any other makes have offered them since.

Well, if we all got in and out of our cars the way we're "supposed to," swivel seats would make more sense. According to doctors, the way most of us get in a car is bad on the back. The "correct" way is to face away from the seat, sit down as if sitting on a chair, then turn and pull your feet in-- just like you would with a swivel chair. But it takes too much time, I guess.

I'm not a doctor, I just play one on the IML. :)

Although I do not own an Imperial with swivel seats, I did purchase a new '75 Olds Cutlass Supreme that was equipped with them.  It was a novelty at first and I tried to get into the habit of using them every time I opened the door to get out of the car.  That lasted about two days!  They might as well have been regular seats from then on!  Occasionally I would use them if I my passenger was elderly and needed assistance getting in and out of the car.  But I found them a bit of a nuisance and a little time consuming when I just wanted to get up from the seat and get out of the car.  But, I'll bet there is someone younger than I who has restored one of these Cutlasses who really thinks they are cool!  In a daily driver (like mine was), they were just another gadget whose novelty soon disappeared.
