“Depending on the year, the Buick Electra 225 might well be the largest car (not wagon or suv) ever made in terms of length and width. Magnificent.”

The Lincoln Continental was bigger and much heavier.

The Lincoln Continental was bigger and much heavier.

It never even occurred to me to check the Fords. The '76 Continental is bigger, but only by a smidgen, than the Electra 225 (1975). I never debated the weight, which would apply to Imperials and Caddies as well over Chryslers, Mercuries and Buick/Olds.

Electra 25 (1975):
233.4 in length
079.9 in width
Footprint: 18,648.66 square inches


Lincoln Continental (1976):
232.9 in length
080.3 in width
Footprint: 18,701.87 square inches, 0.29% larger

Lincoln Continental (1977):
233.0 in length
080.0 in width
Footprint: 18,640.00 square inches


I'd be happy with any of them (but a few years earlier, pre-cat converter and shoulder belts).
