   The link is dead, the posters are gone, so I don't know if anyone   
   knows....   
      
   But in a vaguely related subject, why did big old cars like this have   
   only two doors?

   I can understand why little cars might resort to that compromise due to   
   size constraints and back seats so small that few people would ever ride   
   in them.   
      
   But why would the designers of a yacht like this force everyone to go   
   through a shuffle when backseat passengers had to enter and exit through   
   the front doors?
