sometimes I wonder....

Gee, I don't know, why did say.... Buick use 5 on 100mm,5 on 115mm, 5 on 4.75
in., and 5 on 5.00 in. ??
Again, the A-body AND the slanty were a clean slate project aimed at being tite
lite and rite as a compact efficiency ride. It is the only reason the 4" pattern exists.
Like every car,the older they get, bigger and heavier they get.Be it a civic,altima,or
whatever, so too did the A end up porkin up 500#+. Safety requirements were only
partially responsible for that.
As to the SB WP, I have no friggin idea what they were thinkin w/the gatling-gun
snout, and convoluted bolt pattern......but they have lots of company in that dept.!!
