My mother had a '72 Monterey convertible, dark blue with white top and interior. It was massive. The doors were well over a meter long and must have weighed about a hundred kilos. When you opened or closed them you knew it was a real car. When you went anywhere the car beat you to your destination, the hood was that long! What made it funny was that my mom was only 4' 11" tall and fairly thin. It did have bad gas mileage though, probably down around 12-14 mpg going downhill with a tail wind. They sure don't make them like that anymore, but this is "progress", now we get shoe horned into something that is smaller than my shoes and told it's "safe".
I am jealous. We had a Ford Falcon station wagon.
