| 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
