The Grandville is as big as it had to be to haul 6 people in comfort, and that it does. (I need to find me a '74 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special(factory limo) and show up at a Miata car show with it. Younger people have even thought my "intermediate" '74 Cutlass Supreme was a "boat", and my '66 Pontiac Tempest Custom wagon(also intermediate)- 203'' long-was "the longest car they had ever seen"-give me a break.

I always liked going with the wife in my '75 before the Route 66 Drive in Theatre closed, she could lay up against me & stretch her feet across the bench seat. Kinda like a couch at home -
