Parking spaces seem to be tiny these days. In the 1970s Grandmother drive a Ford Torino it was 17 feet long and over 6 feet wide. The doors were also quite big.

Parking spaces seem to be tiny these days. In the 1970s Grandmother drive a Ford Torino it was 17 feet long and over 6 feet wide. The doors were also quite big. It was actually a typical car not unusually big for the time. A Toyota Camry is about 16' x 6 feet but it seems to be so much smaller like 3 feet rather than 1 foot. I think it felt different in the 1970s because the parking spaces were bigger.
- sofixa 3y agoI'm fairly sure it's the opposite, with some small exceptions car have absolutely gotten bigger than before. https://www.carsized.com https://www.carsized.com is a fun resource to visualise the size evolution - take a far model and see how it's gotten bigger over the years.
