Very sad that two great analog designers had passed away in the same week.

Best regards,

One important thing to note is he wasn't wearing his seat belts.

All you old codgers, and immortal young bucks, that think not wearing
seat belts will allow you to fly free and live in an accident need
to take your blinders off and pay attention:  Flying free and living
after an accident only happens in Hollywood.  In the real world,
YOU DIE!

I have lost too many otherwise intelligent friends from this same
idiotic act of insanity.  Most in accidents under 25MPH.  Most within
a couple miles of their homes.  The only one that didn't die had serious
brain damage that left her with a stammer, crutches for life, and took
away her brilliant musical talent.  Several that did die left behind
spouses, and a host of children.  Several were childhood friends, that
were children at the time of their deaths.

Buckle up!  Wear your seat belts!  PLEASE!

Does a 1969 VW Beetle even have them ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

A casual check via Google indicates that, yes indeed, the 1969 Beetle came with seat belts.

Indeed it does. At least, the model I drove did.

All US cars since 1963 have seat belts.

Yes. My convertible Super-Beetle did for sure. Rustproofing- not so much. :)

===================

After 42 years, I suspect that the rust-proof warranty is also rusty ;)

I think that in Europe (at least in Spain) seat-belts became mandatory a
bit after that in US, around 1970, so perhaps european MY1969 Beetle's
did not have them.

Thank you.

A good friend of mine is a huge Bob Pease fan and also a devout non-wearer of seat belts.  He's already used-up one of his nine lives on an accident where he wasn't belted-in.

Hopefully this unfortunate reminder will cause him to change his mind about belt use.
