In the US all Fiats model year 1968 and prior have low back seats.

I believe rear impact standards made head restraints a requirement which changed all cars for 1969.

Yup found it:

The General Services Administration mandated head restraints for the front outboard seats of Government cars in 1966 and established criteria for testing the performance of restraints. In 1968, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration established a head restraint requirement for all passenger cars sold in the United States after January 1, 1969. The requirement and its associated test criteria were promulgated as Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 202.
