I have great memories of the time, just not if "Rear seatbelts became standard in '68, '64 up front." Not something the average child thinks about or remembers in the 60's.

It depends on the childs age and interests, but the seatbelt thing I had to look up 3 days ago.

They may have been standard installation, but I'm pretty sure it was still legal to drive without them, right? As late as about 1980, a car salesman was trying to convince my mother-in-law that a particular vehicle would be perfect for them, despite the fact that they were a family of 5 and it only had 4 seatbelts.
Actually, now that I think about it, children now have all sorts of seatbelt laws, but I think it's still legal today to be an unbelted adult in the back seat. |

When I was a little kid, children only had to be belted in the back if they were 3 or under. I know this because my mom lied to a cop about my brother's age when she got pulled over after the cop saw my brother and I bouncing around in the backseat. That was in the early 80s, so not that long ago. Now, kids have to have carseats until they are 7 or something. And no front seaters at all.

Seat belts? I remember lying on the ledge under the back window of Dad's Malibu watching the tree-tops fly by... that was apparently before bad things could happen.
