I've never seen them on a prelude, but I've seen them a fair few times on other cars in Japan. I think it stems from the same line of thought as bus drivers having to wear white gloves etc., but yeah unless you stack the car or sleep in it then it's unlikely that it's ever going to be contacted
Tbh they just make me think of old people

Like jjmartin said, a very popular accessory in Japan, especially in taxis (where it's an almost obligatory feature) as well as private cars. Actually, come to think of it, most of the SE Asian countries I've visited have an abundance of the bloody things.
I think my grandmother used to call them antimacassars*. Blimey, showing my age there.

*Question of the day gentlemen: What's a macassar and what is the 'anti' bit preventing? Answers on a postcard please...

Well, I'll go t'foot of t'stairs.
Macassar oil was an unguent for the hair commonly used in the early 19th century. The poet Byron called it "thine incomparable oil, Macassar." The fashion for oiled hair became so widespread in the Victorian and the Edwardian period that housewives began to cover the arms and backs of their chairs with washable cloths to preserve the fabric coverings from being soiled
I can rest easy now I know.
