I'm curious if this was the same as the GM version?

If you had no release rod on the outside, and you popped the remote from inside, how would you release the safety latch when you got out to open the hood?

Could this have been marketed more as a convenience than as a security feature? For example, if you drove into a gas station in 1970 that had an attendant, maybe this remote came in handy? OTOH, any service attendant would know how to open the hood... I know Oregon did not allow self-serve gas the last time I drove through it.. back in 1969 or 70 it was probably common everywhere.
