It does complicate things. A real comparison would have to
include pretty much identical configuration (manual steering,
trans, six, bench seat, etc)


But if 1950 is 2400 and change, and 1965 is 26xx, that's not
much, considering it's a foot longer. 66 to 1970, now that's
400 lbs -- where did it all go?!

Weights seem to balloon in the 1970's. By no coincidence my
interest in cars wanes then too; not weight so much as doodads
and electric window winders and such foolishness.
