6 Passenger Cars

With automakers focusing on integrating as numerous specifications as probable in the center console area, the number of 6 passenger vehicles being manufactured has declined over the years. The front bench seating required to accommodate three people has been exchanged for separate front seats with the gear shift and parking brake placed in-between.

But all is not lost. Though not as common as they once used to be, there are still a couple of full-sized cars on the market with bench seating for that extra passenger. The Lincoln Town Car is, possibly, the almost all widely recognized of the bunch. A long favourite of older drivers, the town Car has a movable center console that can be flipped up to offer more room.

One of Ford's flagship cars, the Crown Victoria, also supplies seating for six travelers. Since its inception in 1955, the Crown Victoria has been an American favorite. Its rugged construction and durability has caused it to become the choice for police and taxi fleets across the country.

As one of the last standard full-size automobiles, the Mercury Grand Marquis still has the two armrests in the middle which can be adjusted to make place for a 6 passenger SUV. It even has a foot rest where they can location their feet to make sure that they are not interfering with the comfort of the driver or other passenger.

And on the subject of deciding exactly who gets to sit in that middle front seat, drawing straws has always proved to be an efficient decision making method for centuries.
