To convert the weight of the car from pounds to tons, we can use the conversion factor that 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.
The curb weight of the car is 3,347 pounds. We can calculate how many tons this is:
\[
\text{Weight in tons} = \frac{3,347 \text{ pounds}}{2,000 \text{ pounds/ton}} \approx 1.6735 \text{ tons}
\]
Since 1.6735 tons is between 1 and 2 tons, the correct response is:
**between 1 and 2 tons**.
