Back in 1990 I briefly owned really nice 1965 Marlin ( Rambler fastback ) with it's stock 327 4bbl and it went pretty good. ( like a dummy I sold it for and bought a 67 mustang that was in sorry shape ) I'd love to find another someday. prices are still pretty reasonable.

You ARE mistaken.  This desk chair I'm sitting in is 22" between the arms and it's way roomier than an airline seat!   32" would be like super first class .... I think an economy seat is like 18" or less.   32" sounds like the distance between the seat backs ...

This is correct - 32" is a typical seat 'pitch' (spacing from one row to the next). Here's a story from a couple years ago that tracks changes to the average width and pitch over the years - https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/columnist/mcgee/2014/09/24/airplane-reclining-seat-pitch-width/16105491/

I love old cars, but not for daily use. They pollute more, are less safe, wear out quickly, and need a great deal more maintenance. These days, I consider my 4-wheelers to be more of an appliance than a hobby. My motorcycles are my passion.
