In the late 50's, early 60's, some Chrysler products had high seatbacks on the driver's side.  But as I recall, they were not called captains' chairs.  Anybody remember what the correct term was for them?

I've heard the term "High Tower" and possibly "Command" seat.  But not 100% sure.

That's it, Fred.  Command seat.  I knew if I heard it, it would register with me.  Thanks.

@markkubancik supplied this from the 1961 Chrysler sales catalog. However, sometimes the different makes within Chrysler Corporation used different names for the same feature.
