Of  interest is that "safety things" were frowned on. Ford, amid much  
Ballyhoo, had Safety everything. Door  Latches, belts, Padded Dash,  and

as did all Mfg. reason being, "If the car need all that safety stuff,  
it must be unsafe". that was the public take on it and until  the  feds  
ordered it, Dealers didn't want seat-belts on the Showroom car  seats.




YES!  I'd forgotten that factor, but it was pretty well observed at  the 
time.  Everyone just "assumed" that their "Tank" would smoothly plow  through 
anything that got in the way, without rolling over or such.
 
Come to think of it, I still know some people that feel that way!
