what's it called?

what is the small hand strap that passengers hang onto when cornering too fast called?

want is the long strap that attaches to the back of the front seat... for multiple users in the back called?

The small strap on the door post area is usually called something like a "passenger assist strap" for entry and exit from the rear of the car. The rope-like strap attached to the back of the front seat is called a "robe rail". They were originally used to hold a blanket for the rear passengers.

Funny almost all manufacturers stopped making those assist straps except one manufacturer that actually still had them into the early 2000's.

I remember my grandfather had a hard time getting out of the back seat area of our 59 Pontiac hardtop. As the new GM cars got channeled starting in 1958 you really needed a strap to get out of the rear area.
