My 66 El Camino was the first year shoulder belts were offered. Something like 25 cars were shipped with the option. I can scarcely imagine driving without a shoulder belt anymore.

EFI, pointsless electronic ignitions, solid state ignitions, four-wheel disc brakes, overdrive transmissions, superior build quality, 100,000 mile warranties; modern cars are better in almost every way, except styling.

Since I got my El Camino running again, I keep comparing it to my '04 GTO. The El Camino seems sort of tossed together by comparison.
