Holy cow - were kids really small back then? Or  did
they have an inate ability to stand and sort of surf
as the car  motored along? 


Before seatbelts were mandatory, 1963 in Texas, kids could ride  almost 
anywhere.  I remember standing up in the front seat, laying in the  back 
floorboard 
in sedans, and in old US cars, laying on the parcel shelf under  the rear 
window....great fun.
