PIC: 1956 Chrysler Windsor with 24,000 miles, for me the clear plastic on the seats would have to go.

A very handsome Chrysler and a fine expression of the Forward Look. I agree re: the plastic.

how do you stay in place on these plastic seat-covers while driving ?

First hard left and you’d be in front of the clock...

Tactically speaking and if she wasn't already there, plastic seat covers and a hard left turn could find a young fellas date right up close and comfy.

My 1:1 '55 Windsor came with plastic seat covers when I bought it in 1996 and they're still on.
They are the "quilted" kind. I am actually very happy to have them, as I really don't want to sit on 65-year old cloth that might be very delicate at its advanced age, and vulnerable to rips and tears.
By the way I am the same advanced age as the seats in my car, I'm a 1955 model as well;)

Haha. Not until I fitted one to my boats wheel - so I could steer with my feet.

Not at all. The car is garaged and I think that's why.

They were and still are Steve attached to the end of my arms. The whole story is though once underway and having cleared the marina, shot the sand bar cleared the channel and finally out in deep water I would pop the roof hatch above the helm, climb up with my top half out in the breeze, with one foot resting on a shelf supporting my weight and the other gripping the suicide knob with my clawed toes. This was fine for cruising in calm water, but not if a sea got up.
