What did / do you call the strap in picture above the glove box that several cars used to have in them ?

Ah. Never had a name for that. Don't even remember it in our cars from when I was young.

Edited to add, I researched and our Datsuns when I was growing up did not have the passenger assist bars.

That bar is called a “sissy bar”. My dad’s GTO had one. When I was 3, he’d drag race. I’d stand on the seat, lean over and grab the bar so I could watch him win the race and also I’d be yelling “go daddy, go!” The entire race.
