for you folks that were around at the time, i can remember the 57 ford's big
advertising push was for safety. they had the deep dish steering wheel, double
door locks, recessed knobs and guages, and other items i forget. i believe it
was kind of a bust, and car companies quit pushing safety as much. it was only
through government action that we got seat belts, padded dashes, etc. correct
me if i am wrong, but people generally did not want to pay extra for safety
options and it took a while to come around. hjim
