Back in the '50s you could buy a plastic prism to mount on the dash if you had a low sun-visor. Had one on the dash of my '67 Pete. If you got so it was past the visor edge light line you could tell the color.
Those were the years when we did not use seat belts neither?
Don't think the seat belts have much to do with seeing the traffic light. Of course, decades, and millions off miles, low visor never was issue. Little cars hiding under that long nose...

Anybody that has spent any time in the trucking industry will tell you that a longer wheelbase will let you have a higher GVW, without overloading the rear axles.
We aren’t talking about big rigs. We are also not talking about GVW or a rig with a trailer.
I'm not well educated, can you explain how the geometry is different big truck/little truck? And Gross Vehicle Weight ratio to front axle weight was part of your statement, and trailer was not part of mine.
