Attic find gods smile on me again!

As long as we're reminiscing, in the '70s and '80s, I drove a Dodge Coronet, then a Chevy Impala, then an Olds Delta 88. All of them had *trunks* into which I could fit two 1x15 cabinets, an Acoustic 370 head and a Fender bass in a hard case! Good old American gas guzzler beasts!

Nice! One of these will fill a stadium, not sure what two would be needed for, but I understand how it would be impossible to resist.
I had a 370 with folded horn back in the day and it was not the worst thing to load as some people claim. It had wheels and a big handle on the back which made it easy to maneuver. With a van, you just tilted in the top and then grabbed the wheels to slide it in - no problem for one person to do. (I had a cover so no damage was done). They do require space though.
P.S. The head weighed 75lbs.
