Way back then you did not have things like seat belts shoulder harnesses, disc brakes and crumple zones plus a whole host of other features that make today's cars a hell of lot more safer!My uncle remembers the pre-55 era...no speed limits in many western states!
It was incredible. Even with a much smaller population back around 1970, highway fatalities were much much higher then than now. Around 55,000 a year 45 years ago compared to 35,000 a year now.
Now back to that Mustang, what model was that?
