But these were mounted - partially - at the rear, still allowing for the reduced taxes and the cheaper sales prices. So giving maximum sight for a minimum cost. And as a funfact, you were allowed to carry up to eight passengers in total - so some more light was also given to the passengers. Actually this was allowed I think until late 1980s.
