Joe,

        Do you leave the brakes on throughout the loading or do you put them 
on after the chair is in the car.
        I'm currently looking at the Ford Thunderbird or Mercury Cougar.  I 
have looked at others and most of them are front-wheel drive reducing the 
hump.  However, the Cadillac is too expensive, the Buick LeSabre (also the 
Olds 88) do not come with an airbab on a 2-door model.  The Tbird doesn't 
either but its not as expensive as the others.
        Thanks.  If you have any other suggestions, let me know.  

Jay
