I wasn't thinking about the 1970-1980's mixtes, I was thinking about the vintage 1940-50's mixtes, like this 1940's Hawthorne: http://www.teamkarim.com/bikes/used/.../071006-14.jpg
or this 1950's Murray: http://www.teamkarim.com/bikes/used/.../013106-18.jpg
By the time the 70's and 80's came along, everyone was jumping on the racing bike bandwagon (we have some pretty amusing cycling magazines from that era), and hybrids hadn't even been invented yet. Drop bars were the thing everyone wanted.
