<VV> flashers (on cars!) etc.

Seth,

I thought that the '67 collapsible steering columns were not federally mandated but were just something GM invented and included on their cars out of the goodness of their hearts.  Sorta like Mercedes did with safety door latches in the '30s and Volvo did with the 3-point safety harness, etc.

As for the 4-way flashers, I think they were available as a "Custom Feature Accessory" on the FCs but, at least so far as the '63s are concerned, flashers aren't listed as available for passenger car Corvairs.  I have seen them on '64 passenger car Corvairs but I don't know if that's stock or not.
