Seat belt patent

Watched a PBS-type program t'other day about the dangers to kiddos riding in a van 2nd or 3rd row in the seat having only a lap belt. Bad stuff, guys. Same in pick-em-up trucks with lap belts only.

Showed pix of crash dummies in those seats - they were almost ripped in half!

Then the screen was filled with a clean white car fender and bright chrome 544.

Announcer smoothly said just what I thought he would "Volvo patented the three-point seat belt in 1957".

Be happy in the car designed for people, not speed or a zoomy appearance. Remember any 1957 US marques with - ugh - tail fins?

Veni vidi Volvo

Regards to all,

Bob
