While attending a recent car show, I came across a reproduction window sticker displayed in a mint-condition 1966 Mercury Marauder. Full-size Mercuries from the 1960s are some of my favorite cars, so I spent a lot of time examining this one.
What caught my eye on the window sticker was the list of standard equipment. Under the subheading "safety equipment" were such high-tech features as four-way emergency flashers and a driver's side door mirror. While these did have a marginal impact on accident avoidance, they added little to the overall cost of repair if damaged in a collision.
