Joe:

Shockingly yes, our experience was, Adults 5'10" can sit up in the 
Alfetta ('75 version is what I had) even for a 12 hour drive to Amarillo 
from Brenham. In the GTV-6, the same adults had to ride with their head 
cocked to one side about 30 degrees or slouch in the seat. An hour trip 
to Houston or 1.5 hours to Austin was asking a bit much.

I think it was the overstuffed plumper leather seats; but I never did 
any measurements. The GTV-6 also had a sunroof so there might have been 
a bit of head room there.
Best Wishes,
Bernie Bennett
