Teenagers fool around in the back seats of used cars, or at least they used to. I don't know what you punks do now with your Facebook and your Twitter, but in the '80s when I was in high school you and your girl drove someplace secluded with your piece of crap '75 Plymouth Valiant or whatever, put some Bon Jovi on, hopped in the back and started steaming up the windows. And you know what, it was never comfortable; you had spare change stuck to your face, she'd somehow wind up with gum in her hair and you had the goddamn transmission tunnel dictating where you could or couldn't put two pairs of legs.
Ah, nostalgia. I'm not sure if teenage romantic fumblings were what Brooklyn-based furniture manufacturer Hooker Design/Build intended to recall with their Eleanor B couch, but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.
The Eleanor B was fashioned from the back seat of a 1969 Mustang and amusingly retains its most annoying feature, the hump. Made from vintage leather riding on yellow pine. Pick one of these up, call your old flame and start downloading "Living on a Prayer."
