Old American cars do have a relationship between form and function.
They were of course more than mere transport filling many roles where the owner could say something about himself, usually a way of describing his success.... and the role of the car in courtship and therefore continuation of the species must be taken into account.
I think folk may have thought ..my car is big and wonderful therefore I am big and wonderful and no doubt potential partners probably approached the matter with a similar view.

Role of cars in the continuation of the species?? Function ruling form? Clearly Alex is advocating bench seats - big and wonderful ones.
