Default Car died 2 blocks from home.

Took out the '56 Victoria yesterday. Car started right up. After only 2 blocks, making a left turn, it died. No warning. No chugging, sputtering, hesitation. Nothing. Just died. Coasted to side of road. Tried turning key, no clicking or starter noise. Checked battery cables, and all other observable electrical connections; all secure. Dome light bright. Called flat bed. Shop says maybe the "Neutral safety switch". They said there was only one bolt holding it on, and it was loose. They tightened it. They said there should be two.

Does this make sense to you? I know nothing about a neutral safety switch, other than what Google just told me. I drove it home from the shop yesterday, and it seemed fine, but, what advice can you give me going forward? I'm hesitant to take it out now. LOL.
