PARKING DIMENSIONS 1973 MODEL CARS

THE MOTOR VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION HAS COMPILED THOSE DIMENSIONS OF THE DOMESTIC 1973 MODEL AUTOMOBILES WHICH RELATE TO PARKING. THESE DIMENSIONS RESULT FROM MEASUREMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE STANDARD VEHICLES UNDER FULL DESIGN LOAD CONDITIONS WHICH INCLUDE WATER, OIL, GASOLINE, A REPRESENTATIVE PASSENGER LOAD, AND TIRES INFLATED TO THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. THE VARIOUS HEIGHT DIMENSIONS COULD BE AS MUCH AS THREE INCHES GREATER WITHOUT THE PASSENGER LOAD. DIMENSIONS GIVEN FOR EACH MAKE OF CAR INCLUDE ITS VARIOUS BODIES AND MODEL TYPES, BUT SPECIAL EXTENDED WHEELBASE MODELS ARE EXCLUDED. WHERE A RANGE OF DIMENSIONS IS GIVEN IT IS NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE RANGE IN ANOTHER COLUMN, I.E.; A "SHORT WHEELBASE" MODEL IS NOT NECESSARILY THE "SHORT OVERALL LENGTH" MODEL.
