Another fascinating feature I recall is the cable activated seatbelt tensioning system this car could have. Basically the engine is so far forward with the radiator over on the drivers side, that the first thing to hit will be the motor. I measured once, I think its 6 inches from the furthest front point on the car. With that in mind, they have rigged up a pulley and cable system as an automatic seatbelt tensioner second system. Engine moves back in body for any reason, cables are pulled tight, seatbelt is pulled tight.
