Absolutely true, Fran. 20 years ago, or so, I bought a new Engleheart 3/4 upright bass. Turns out, I didn't have a car it would fit in.

I went to the Ford dealer and saw a salesman I knew. I borrowed a new Ford Escort wagon, took it to the office and tried to fit the bass in it. With the seats flat, the bass headstock went thru the front seats. Shifting into 3rd was rough, but that stands as the most expensive bass case I ever bought.

Still have the bass, by the way. The wagon died years ago.

What great memories!
