I never heard that stand-up headroom was a requirment to be termed cabin
class. [...]


Perhaps the main operational difference is whether or not the cabin is
pressurized.

Cessna 402?

The one that makes the most sense to me, is the one about everyone entering
though the same door, and going forward between the seats, to get to the
pilot's seats.

Then the venerable and mighty DC-3 would not be cabin-class.

So a "P" Navajo would be "Cabin Class" but a Chieftain wouldn't be?

About the smallest aircraft (that I know of) with a "stand up" cabin is the
Citation Excel.

Most twin turboprops are "cabin class" (ie, King Air) but their cabin height
is about 4'8" high. So it's more a "hunched over" rather than "stand up"
cabin.

After a few thousand hours in King Airs, I would agree with
the hunch. The 1900D is more comfortable.

No! A salesman lie? Never, sure it will carry 6 people and
baggage no-stop to Denver.

That eliminates a large number of biz jets.
