Hi

"My opinion is that it was a car customized for sight-seeing in the mountains."

I'd second that idea, lwb cars were frequently used by National Park tour companies and nearby hotels to offer tourist sightseeing livery from open-topped vehicles to enjoy the view. A tell-tale whether the car in question was in that service would be if its fitted with more durable seat covers to withstand the rigors of that use.
