As an oldster, I remember this. One entertaining thing you leave out was that the federal government had much stronger mandates for passenger safety planned. But they wrote in an escape clause, "You don't have to do this if enough states pass seatbelt laws." Thus, car companies strongly supported seatbelt laws because this way they didn't have to figure out how to keep people safe.
