Is it rare for an oldsmobile front bench seat to have cigarette lighters on each side by the top corner of the seat?

Because in the good old days you wouldn't be caught dead anywhere without a cigarette, but unless you were a millionaire with a limousine and crystal champagne glasses, the only thing you'd be drinking out of in a car was a thermos, a beer bottle, or maybe a fifth of Four Roses.

If anyone had walked up to you and even started to say "triple venti mocha," you would have punched his lights out before he finished just because you didn't like the way the words sounded.

LOL! So true!

I have a 63 Buick and there are 2 cigarette lighters in the back seat. One in each armrest.

LOL, that's hilarious. The only time I wish I had a cup holder is at fast food drive throughs.

For such a smoking oriented car, the front split style ash trays in my Delta sure are a pain in the *** if you are trying to put a cigarette out while driving. Especially at night.

So you're saying that the illumination light in each ashtray is burned out?

CSM shows how to change them - you've got to reach up and unclip the "roof" of the ashtray (unless '74 is different).

That's part of it.. I don't know why I haven't looked for the bulbs yet.

It is also just the size and shape of the 74's split ash trays. Kind of an awkward setup.

That image does not look like a seat for a 68 olds 98

If you had a 98 back then, they where probably cigar lighters.

I think it probably is. The pillar between the windows indicated that this is either a Town Sedan or Luxury Sedan. Since it doesn't have the rear seat vanity or assist handles, it must be a Town Sedan. Town Sedans seem to be few and far between. I found only one Town Sedan on the web, and I had to look real hard, but I believe I saw a lighter such as this.
