   The first car I remember was a '51 Chevy and that was about 3100 pounds.   
   The '57 Chevy was around 3500. The '62 Rambler classic was back down   
   around 3000. (Damn you, George Romney!)   
      
   My '62 Lincoln Continental was 5200. Now there was a car. You could run   
   over slow moving Volkswagens andnot even notice. On the other end of the   
   spectrum my '62 AH Sprite was 1500.
