Hmm, I need to check my assumptions. I'm not much of a literature 
collector, I have only a full-line 62 and a few 70's brochures. For 62 
the dual master brake was new, galvanized rockers etc. No mention of 
seatbelts, and no photo shows one.

I was reminded that Rambler called the old 195.6 (both versions) the 
FLYING SCOT. Which, to be honest, I think is hilarious, and must have 
sounded very 19th century even in 1962.

My friend Scot (two t's though) is fairly heavy, and if I threw him, 
would not go far, would involve a lot of grunting, and when he was again 
able to rise, well, I would have to run away. That's about right, 
overhead valves or not.
