After filming started on the second season, Paul [Michael] Glazer and David Soul both complained to the producer that they did not like the vinyl bench seat in these cars. The problem was that when Glazer made sharp turns with the cars, David Soul would slide around in the seat (Paul Glazer had the steering wheel to hold on to). Finally the producers agreed to change one of the Torinos to have bucket seats in it. This is the way Torino number 2 still is today. The rear seat of the car was not changed, so the stitching pattern of the rear seat still matches the original bench seat. There are rumors flying around that these cars were 4-speed manual transmission cars - unfortunately this is not true. The cars were not modified in any way other than a better ratio rear end. The engines and transmissions were completely stock. A sound track was added for the rumble of the engine. starskytorino/articles/stevenson.html
