Restricting steering angle 444-544 1965

posted by  someone claiming to be cameron on  Fri Apr 21 05:58 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Funny how this works... I just looked at the R&T and confirmed what you found (not that I doubted it, but because it's different than what I was thinking and because I'm stubborn sometimes...). The R&T also shows that a 444 circle is 36 feet. I wonder why it's so much greater than that of the 544?

I have another old book, with its cover missing, that shows a PV turning circle to be less than 30 feet.

I haven't owned a 140 for several years, but my impression has always been that the PV had the smallest turning circle. Just my impression I s'pose. I have a customer's car coming into the shop next week - a bone stock 544 - and (now that I'm interested) will measure its turning circle... anyone with a stock 140 want to do the same?

Thanks Gary.

Best,
