I once purchased a used car that did not have a front seat in it. I later found out why. Anyway, I only needed it to drive around the neighborhood to visit family and friends so I put a lawn chair behind the drivers seat and got many a great laugh from all who saw me drive that ole car! I ended up with many fond memories. Eventually, I was able to find out why there was no front seat in that ole car.
The previous owner dropped fire from his cigar between the seats. The seat caught on fire and the gentleman had a heart attach from the fright and the car was sold really cheap. I got rid of the car which ended up junked out. Looking back, I’m glad I never replaced the front seat.
