Info anyone? Havnt heard of the 2+2 [BS flag]

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

I thought 2+2 meant it has the rear folding seats [Confused]

Posted by Wildfire532FB (Member # 1482) on :

I thought they called it that to explain it was bigger than a coupe.

Posted by NEIGHT (Member # 8741) on :

You sir are correct, the stock rear seat can sit 3. The 2+2 rear seat can only sit 2 due to the center divide, there more like buckets. Google is your friend SON [patriot]

"2+2" is just a simple designation for the 1965-66 fastback models. Both the coupe and convertible models rear seats were bench, therefore it was possible to sit three passengers ( keep in mind that wearing seat belts at the time wasn't a law and there was no third/middle seatbelt ). The coupe or convertible would never have a 2+2 designation. It had more to do with sloping roofline of the fastback, if a regular bench seat like in the coupe or convertible was placed in the rear of the fastback, you're passengers heads would be hitting the back window or metal back half of the headliner. The hump in the middle of the backseat is for the driveshaft tunnel. The fastback never came from the factory with a rear bench seat, only the option to fold down or not. The folddown option also had a trapdoor you could prop open for more trunk space ( think snow skis ) However, they did produce a front bench seat for the 65-66 and 67-68 model years ( They produced about a 1000 a year, and it was basically two bucket seats joined together and an armrest/seatback that would fold up or down. As with the back seat, no third front seatbelt was provided. I know this because I had a 67 A code coupe with a front bench and a 67 fastback with the folddown rear seat.

Guess you would have known the distinction that only a fastback comes stock 2+2, then. I didn't see that in the single sentence. [Wink]

You got 2 small seats in the back for the spinner chicks & the passenger seat for the girls with back yard on them.

Imagine a 100lbs chick what you could do to her in the sack..... That's a spinner chick.
The bigger seat in the front is perfect for the curvy girls with big butts.
The designers of the fastback 2 + 2 seat configuration knew some guys like thicker girls while some men prefer smaller petite girls.
That's why FORD make the best cars for picking up chicks LOL. [patriot]
