bucket seats

Individual sports-car seating

Bucket seats are individual car seats that curve around the body, as opposed to a bench seat that spans the full width of the vehicle.

The contoured shape cradles the occupant like a bucket.

Standard in sports cars and most modern vehicles, they typically allow independent adjustment for driver and passenger: The Mustang came with leather bucket seats.
