Its a safety issue. Kept folks from getting run over by a horse and wagon!!...so the ladies could walk on the "boardwalk"  Denny Graham, or someone else (TIM?) gave a link to a 50 chevy car commercial where in that was noted....or something like that.

Yes, I've read it was a safety issue. And, of course, it saved Chevy $0.75 per truck!
