Look at that. An actual BUMPER.

and back then after a hit like that the car remains fully operational and yet the driver was unharmed compared to todays cars where it would set the air back off and leave the driver flat broke and mentally unstable from his financial corruption from buying a new bumper for his car.

@WaveX28 tat crash test was accually done at 40mph and the bumpers barely moved idk what your talking about

[WaveX28]

At the speed which airbags would deploy, this car would be folding like a tin can. These cars were built like they were disposable, and as far as cars go, they were.

@weasel884 Some totally incorrect information here. The speeds shown in this video are far too slow to activate airbags.

@weasel884 ... air bags only deploy in impacts of around 28mph, a modern car would also receive hardly any damage at those speeds and any damage it does get would be cheaper to repair.
