I remember my parents ordering a car, and seatbelts were optional.
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard № 208 (FMVSS 208) was amended by the NHTSA to require a seat belt/starter interlock system to prevent passenger cars from being started with an unbelted front-seat occupant. This mandate applied to passenger cars built after August 1973, i.e., starting with the 1974 model year.

They started installing them in 67 I believe, and headrests in 72 or so.

OK, in the interests of patriotic fervour, this is a British effort from 1958.

Those cars look cool, but the idea of parking them gives me anxiety.

They couldn't assemble it in the U.S. because the workers were laughing too hard. I mean, really. What a dopey-looking car.
Beep beep.
