Scanned from a vintage magazine we found, here's a Ford ad from 1966 highlighting the safety of their vehicles.
No less than eight safety features, including flashers! I wonder if the brakes count as one of the 8?
Sorry for the line, it was too big to fit on the scanner so I had to scan twice and stitch them together.

I had to laugh one year when I picked up a Buick Regal & a factory dash placard read 4 Wheel Disc Brakes.

As this is the mid-sixties, the mother just wants to get out of the office without Bill Ford smacking her ass again.

It's amazing when you consider that they probably still had cable driven speedometers at that point.

This reminds me of all those 90's GM cars with the "ABS" badge prominently displayed on the back bumper.

And in 1956 when we introduced the most revolutionary package safety ideas in the business.
They say it like I'm supposed to already know what the "revolutionary" package is.

That's a valid point. You think they did it with a pass-through box like the old cruise kits for cable speedos?

Probably, something along the lines of the Abbott Cable-X used nowadays. Or maybe the GM speed warning stuff.
