Talk:Bucket seat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] 1970 invention?

The last para needs a source. Paragraphs above it speak of cars made prior to 1970 that have bucket seats. Either it is wrong, or there is more to the story than is said. Unfortunately [1] confirms the issueance of a design patent around 1970 but does not have the text available. More later if I find more. ++Lar: t/c 12:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Steve McQueen certainly did not "invent" bucket seats in 1970. That is a self evident fact. The thousands of cars made prior to 1970 that came equipped with them attests to that. I think the patent refers to a particular design of bucket seat for, presumably, racing use. I'm removing the reference. JE1977 20:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
