What passenger cars are/were the largest, heaviest, and longest? This is for all time, not just current models.

Some of my bets would go to the Chrysler Newport, a 70's Lincoln Continental, the Edsel, and the Ford Excursion.

Anyone have the data?

My dad used to have a '58 Oldsmobile I think in his shop. He had been working on it a bit, so I had never seen it on the road. I dont know how big it was, but it was surely the biggest, heaviest car Ive seen in my life.

The 1958 Lincolns were enormous. They must be very high on the list.
