I am guessing if this friend’s mom were still alive and driving today, she might use a back support thing to get her closer to the pedals. It’s nice too that steering wheels are now adjustable so the short folks don’t have to peer through them. Way back when my friend’s mom did the block thing, there were no airbags. Not sure there were even seatbelts. Anyone remember the long strap that stretched across the back of the front seat for the rear passengers to hold onto?
