I had a friend in college whose brother was 6'8". The brother had bought some model of Sunbeam convertible that had a tiny rear seat, and few inches of leg space behind the front seats.

I'm sure it was not comfortable, but it made it possible to cram his frame into the tiny car, and caused many a double take when a guy that tall got out of a car that small.
