I gotta wonder about this - from Linda's 1962 article
in Road and Track regarding the brand spanking new
Mark II Sprite - "the rear edge of the cockpit has
been cut back 12" to provide room for a child..."
Holy cow - were kids really small back then? Or did
they have an inate ability to stand and sort of surf
as the car motored along? I was born in 59, so I would
have been a prime candidate for being folded into that
tiny space - but my parents had the mild mannered
approach of buying one of the early Volkswagen Buses.
