Cars were simple in very interesting ways! My Fiat 1100 had a bench seat and column shift. The body was very narrow but you can imagine an Italian family of six with Papa driving with a young child in the middle front and his wife on the left and the other three kids in the back. Unlike the Holden, it had a powerful heater as standard, screen washers and even (!) a rheostat to monitor the brightness of the high-beam warning light. Amazingly, it would cruise at 70 miles per hour. The suicide front doors, despite the obvious safety issue, did confer easier ingress and egress.
