Late hubby had an FJ Holden with a layback front seat (unheard of in those days!) Great at the drive-in, provided you didn't want to watch the movie Ah the memories of my misgotten youth.
Cheers!

You're right Rosie. Panel vans.
There's 2 drive-ins still left in SEQ. One 'just down the road' from me at Yatala, and one out at Ipswich, which my son and family freqent. They make a kind-of bed in the back of the Patrol, like we used to do with our old Kingswood Stationwagon.

Hahaha, I remember a few cars with them in. Camping bench seat I think they were called. My mate had an FC Holden with one too, but every time you hit a big bump you'd hit the cable and the seat would drop back. A bit scary at 60 miles per hour. We didn't have kilometers then......
