My buddy had a 1966 Charger with the fold down flat rear seats. He found out he could put either a twin or full size mattress in the back.Does anyone remember the Nash models that had seats that folded down to make a sleeper? This feature ran from the early 40s into the 50s at least.

Comfortable seats
Horizontal speedometers
How about the ones with a horizontal bar that changed color as speed increased?
Cigarette lighters and ashtrays.

Wut ? I called them speaker shelves … they’d hold four 6x9’s with separation to boot
Retread tires for cars. Those were in tire-store ads until about the early 1980s.
The 5–digit odometers lasted in some new cars into the early 1990s. I briefly had a 1990 Ford Ranger that still had one. Wikipedia says the Ranger did not get a 6–digit odometer until the 1994 model year.

Remember when GM had a door key and ignition key? I do
My second vehicle was 77 Chevy Silverado 2WD 350 with Rochester quadrajet carb. Had oval GM key for door and square key for ignition. I loved that high beam switch was like “button” on floor. Also, it had aftermarket cassette player. Nephews asked me while ago “uncle Adam, what is a cassette?” 
When my sister bought her first new car back in 1999, she had to have a package shelf for her cat, Tipper, who enjoyed riding back there and looking out the window.
I also remember that those GM keys were able to open the doors and turn the ignition switch on many cars, not just the one you owned. As an early teenager, my friends and I would walk along and see how many cars our parents' keys would open.
and four hundred and forty cubic inches...
