Car makers build around a set of anthropomorphic data tables and the 95th. percentile numbers listed.
The idea being the 100% of cars will fit 95% of the population.
One thing which always intrigues me about American cars is the thickness of the doors.
They seem to be really vast compared to many from Europe and locally built offerings.
By the way I used to own an MGB and the cabin width was around 48 inches and the total width of the body was around 60 inches including external mirrors.
