Best seat ! There are some MB sport wagons that have this option available.
WilwoWaggins
Had a sweet Buick Roadmaster wagon like that when we had 6 kids. Loved that car. Same engine as a Corvette.
clem2270
yup, so many vehicles got the "bird" from back there.
Evanidus
My siblings and I called it the "back-back" growing up.
NatesSauceLab
That was my first car. The fridge. Handed down after 15 years of grocery getting. I raced it on frozen MN lakes.
owowowcrampcrampcramp
Ohhhyeahhhh! Vista cruiser option. Fake wood grain sides. That’s luxury right there boy!
ReadOnlyMemories
Fun.. but would make me feel a little dickie
Randombastard360
My M&P had a ‘71 Pontiac Bonneville Grand Safari station wagon. Had the hidden pop up rear facing seat. We loved when got to use it!
MrSaucyPhD
I threw up in one of those as a kid. Realized I can't be in a car facing backwards. Terrible experience
tonymilty
We didn’t have that luxury. Just empty space without any carpeting. Slid all over the fucking place. We called it the back-back.
nyintx
My Tesla has this seat in it. My kids can't stop smiling back there.
TheDrunkenHuntsman
Our wagon didn't even have a rear seat... we was too poor for 3 rows of seating. That didn't stop us from riding in the back.
TheDrunkenHuntsman
Or the bed of the truck either!
MakeAmericaLateAgain
Riding in the back of the Volvo station wagon was like going on vacation everytime.
SurfHill
Tailgunner!!!
Spreenis
Damn I love these. My Dad had one when we were kids and is a gear-head so it was fast too. We called ours The Battle Wagon.
TallLightnHandsome
We had a station wagon that had one of these seats as well. Fun to ride!
ShutTheFrontDoors
We had a station wagon that had spent time as a hearse, and then as a cab. I loved that back seat. And I never vomited.

Cruise the vista
Slamwalker
Where do you put your feet?
SurfHill
Out the back window! Or scruntch up, but most folks back there were 12 years old or under and fit with little problem.
km9v
My favorite seat as a kid.
animatronicvelcrorat
I drive a 1996 toyota camry station wagon that has this seat. Grown adults fight to ride in this damn thing.

Pick boogers and try and flick them onto the cars following behind. Ahh childhood.
buddhistsunset
If out of boogers, then spit was acceptable substitute.
SurfHill
Our parents did not understand the effect drag has on exhaust and carbon monoxide. Explains a lot about Boomers and Gen X. _____Leaded Fuel!
Nytr013
My 03 Taurus has the same jump seat. The kiddos love it!
dunimal
2007 Mercedes wagon, same deal.
Gayrados
A great gift you have given your children
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
You can still get them in a Mercedes E Class
Ootandabootehh
My parents had an new 03 Taurus when I was a kid. So many good memories riding in that rear seat.
KanyesGayFish
I think they come in the Tesla model s too
RainBowMorso
Thats a fucking death seat. If someone rams you kids die and if the cars comes to sudden stop necks snap like no tommorrow.
Jellynoodle
Half the fun
NivalisAngelus
Make faces at the cars behind you.

SirPoopyButtholeTheFirst
We did piece signs to see who would piece back
NivalisAngelus
I have questions about both your use of piece and also your father, grandfather and great grandfather.
Kronzor
/give them the finger
SkepticalJack
We threw food out the back.
probationaryperiod
We would put on puppet shows for the cars behind us.
bibedibabedibu
Are you still allowed to shout shotgun?
SurfHill
Of course!!!!!
SpottieOttieDopalisciousAngel
No one wanted to sit cherry, lol
DeadeicPrints
Why is it so much better to stare out the back of the car? Obviously it is. But I don't get why.
buddabopp
because you get to projectile vomit onto the cars behind you
DorkJedi
Because the long arm of the mom could not reach you back there.
SurfHill
It isn't and you are more likely to get car sick, however, you could stick your feet out the back with unlimited legroom & THAT was AWESOME!
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
because it’s different than the usual.
WeolB
Because you have a window infront of you, not another seat.
DeadeicPrints
Allow me to rephrase, why is it better staring out the back than the front windshield or the side window?
Trevarious
Side windows were typically really tiny, front windshield is better but most of the time that was full
BigFatPaulee
It is different, not usual. As a kid, something new or unusual is exciting and fun. As on old person, it becomes quite the opposite.
Sexlexic
Because you're being pulled in a direction you cant see. Imagine blindly walking forward in a place you've never been scary yet exciting
MoepsDump
Sounds like something that would make me puke.
Sexlexic
Eh we like roller coaster even tho they have the potential to make us puke
MoepsDump
You sound like someone who doesn't get motion sick...
SurfHill
GM Wagons 77-89 were awesome. But that was the puke seat, thank goodness the whole window could be lowered remotely.
2ndstar2theright
As I recall the widow could be opened and the exhaust would pour in.
thenewteddy
grandpappie had one of them, brown too, was awesome
kekkeruus
We didnt get too much of american cars here where i live, but we had volvo 850 with these rearfacing seats. I loved them.
bb2b
Rolling abatoirs... The horror stories of accidents involving entire families in these things.
ConradPerson
Had a Camry wagon with a puke seat. 8 year old Nephew tossed cookies back there. Impossible to fully clean. Had to wait it out.
zenoshogun
The people in the convertible tailgating you must love that feature.
Brocktooon
For maximum CO intake.
mulligylan
90s Taurus hatchbacks were like this!
SurfHill
In layout, but only about 85% of the size.
BigFatPaulee
You could fit like 17 ma fuckas in there!
SurfHill
I had 21 girls I drove around party hopping one Saturday night in H.S. in our '77 Impala Wagon.
BigFatPaulee
Nice! My ma used to pile me, my brothers, and all our pals in to go to the beach.
dtek
I was sure that was a Ford LTD. My mom had one. Now I'm not so sure
SurfHill
Full size LTD rear seats faced each other. The Fox-based LTD rear seat was rear facing but tiny.
dtek
I'm sure you're right. Memory is a funny thing. I remember sitting in rear facing seats. Probably a friend's parent's GM wagon. :)
SurfHill
That is a GM. The Spare tire is under the cover on the Passenger side, and the cabinet on driver side can fit a small sibling.
MrShpoople
Confirmed... My father worked at GM forever. We had that exact make and model. God I loved that car when I was a kid
SurfHill
Nothing like getting your licence and being handed a car with a 350 under the hood, seating for 25, & a speedometer that only goes to 85MPH!
RedWingedBlackbirds
And heavy enough to take off quick from a light on slick winter roads and not fishtail
Sakabashira
Why did they fuck everything up when the 1957 Chrysler New Yorker Station Wagon already had the solution?
SurfHill
Beautiful car, but how did the '57 differ from this? Both had tailgates that dropped, both had essentially the same space,new one had cubby.
Sakabashira
Leg room. In this thing, you'd be hugging your knees. So uncomfortable.

Sure doesn't look like the one we have at the house.
