Were so big!
I can't imagine driving those clunkers. The steering wheel wouldn't even fit in a lot of cars today!
I am going to look up what they were, but if any of you car experts know, post it here for others.
I imagine those cars had a lot of power, but slow to start off.
Gas mileage? Weight?
When watching old movies, I often think the same thing - how huge the cars were and how much steel was needed to make them.
If you, or anyone for that matter, wants to check out what cars are used in a particular movie, I heartily suggest imcdb.org
They do have a page and identify some of the cars used in this movie:
