Not 'family cars' but many street-driven sports cars like Ferraris and Lambos ran them.
In the 60's, they were an improvement for high RPM, small displacement (under 5 liter) engines. Witness the GT-40 program-but no MK II 427's. But this ignores the fact that the improvements through modification of the Holleys to the present time has far eclipsed Weber development. As has fuel injection.
