They don't make 'em like they used to - updated

I can't remember the last time I rode in a car with a bench front seat.

Reposted from 2013 to add some information about what everyone noticed before the bench seat.  What she was wearing was called a "bullet bra."

Bullet Bra is a full-support bra with cups in the shape of a paraboloid with its axis perpendicular to the breast. The bullet bra usually features concentric circles or spirals of decorative stitching centred on the nipples.

Invented in the late-1940s, they became popular in the 1950s, and worn by the Sweater Girl, a busty and wholesome "girl next door" whose tight-fitting outergarments accentuated her artificially enhanced curves.

Here is the relevant infrastructure:
