Tonight, as we view a 904, we must remember, people were smaller in the 1960's.  |
I was shopping for a Toyota pickup, circa 1990. I'm 6'2". I squeeze into the bench seat, barely getting my legs under the steering wheel. The salesman (at a Toyota dealer...) says "We're in the Southwest (Arizona), people who buy Toyota trucks are shorter here."
He wasn't joking. In the 90s.
I since learned that you need to buy a Toyota truck with bucket seats, extended cab and a tilt steering wheel to fit if you're over 6 feet tall, and I drove them like that for 10 years.
