Bill, tgo

I used to carry my upright, my electric a 4 space rack, a 15 cab and a 210 cab in my early 80's Honda Civic 2 door--it's easy with a hatchback. A much more impressive feat is how I get my upright into my 4 door no hatchback Mercury Mystique.

I had a friend who carried his upright in an earlier VW beetle. He used to open passanger's window to get space enough for the neck pass trough. Gigs just on clear sky nights...

My 3/4 size upright will fit in a 1993 Jeep Wrangler with the top ON.  
However, I have to remove the passenger seat to accomplish the task.

My old bass teacher used to get his 7/8 upright into a small 1970s BMW. it was like watching a Doug Henning show.

That's great! I LOVE those Smart cars, but people are always saying I could never have one because I play upright.  
Take that naysayers!

Cool video!

I bought a double bass towards the end of last year and also have a smart car and good to know I can take it to a gig in my car when I learn to play it.

I recently sold a drum kit to a guy who fit it all into a porsche 911; we were both saying it should be in an ad...I was surprised...Tony

I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again: 3 adults (2 of us 5' 11), a D-28, a mandolin, and a case and a half of imported beer in a Spitfire - with the top up.  Hey, you brag what you can.

ps - The Spitfire was Triumph, not Supermarine.

I'll bet the three of you were very friendly.  lol
 
Bill, tgo

The non-5' 11 person was of the XX persuasion (that's chromosomes, not size).  I, alas, was the driver.  Mick enjoyed it more than I.

Here are a couple of pics I took when I packed my double bass into the car to take it for a setup.

 

 I was surprised it went in so easliy. I just had to put something on the dashboard to protect it from the tuners.  Jazzyvee
