It cracked me up that their computers calculated that a mono leaf rear suspension would be good, because by the time the car came out both Chevy and Pontiac offered factory traction bars. Someone apparently knew this set up wasn't sufficient back then. As we all know not only did they add multi leafs the very next year they staggered the shocks, too.
same time you could ride a bike with no helmet, pregnent mothers could drink alcohol and smoking was safe. The computer in my back pocket has more power than what they had "designing" things.

its funny how fast things changed after the 60's
