Mopar was the main player in the LWB sedan market, sold the majority of these 8-passenger models to livery operators where speed wasn't the primary consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) From what I have read, historically, some larger families would buy such long sedans for their passenger capacity. They would be used, I suppose, like some of today's 3-row utility vehicles. Chrysler Corporation made such long sedans even in their less expensive car brands.
