What’s really jarring is to see the old, American land yachts back in the day on the road next to the grotesquely-oversized pickup trucks we see everywhere. They look, well, not exactly small, but nothing at all like the bloated whales in our memories. Heck, my grandfather’s Cadillac seemed enormous at 225 inches long (the longest ever production car at the time), but the base model of the Ford F series is now 232 inches.
