The wheel to car ratio....
I think it's just the photo. It was based on a truck, so it was a pretty hefty minivan. Plus cars these days have ridiculously sized wheels.
I think it being based on a truck qualifies it as a van, no mini. Maybe compact van?
Recently read or saw in a video, the tire tech hadn’t advanced to the point we really are today.
It sounds funny but they couldn’t make the walls strong enough (and cheap enough) for typical production vehicles like today (if my memory is correct!) that’s why today cars have much “shorter” looking tires
Interesting! If you run across it again I'd love to see it.
Sorry, you said wheel but I assumed you were referring to the tires.
I’ll see if I can find it because I found it super interesting as well, haha
I should have been clearer, I meant the wheel and tire combo. They look like they belong on a much smaller vehicle. And I was alive when this car was new and my memory of it doesn't look like this lol.
