The switch happened with the '67 models, when new safety standards went into effect. Those did not require collapsible columns. GM/Chrysler/AMC went that route. Ford did not at that time.

74 Hornet Hatchback X twins (since 1977)
62 American Convertible (still worth the $50 I spent in 1973!) AMCRC #513, AMO #384

Good thing I put "IIRC" in there, leaving myself some margin for error! NHSA was signed in 66, but didn't affect 66 models...

Thanks for the correction!!
