Yes. that's right, a sedan. That Star Cheif weighed over two tons. I think the 1965 model would probably work too.
FWIW, a 1968 Pontiac Bonneville sedan would NOT fit the 3/4 size in the trunk and it took a lot of work to get the 1/2 size into and out of the trunk; not worth it if the back seat was available instead.
I could and did easily carry my 1/2 size in my 1986 Plymouth Voyager (25 mpg hwy, 18 city, 4 cylinders) and it fit into the back seat (the seat directly behind the front seats--think 5-passenger configuration), and could be belted in that way to boot. I didn't have to put it in the wayback. This left the wayback open for my friends' instruments--very handy.
My 1/2 size easily fit into a 1980-mumble Toyota Tercel hatchback belonging to one of said friends.
If I remember, I'll measure the length of my 1/2 bass and post the overall dimension here. As I recall it's maybe 8 inches shorter overall than a 3/4 size. (I had to stand on a crate to play the 3/4 size that I borrowed when I was in high school, before I had my own bass. I guess it was a picturesque bit of stage business but I like being able to reach my 1/2 size from the floor!)
