when did they start putting air bags in cars
Airbag The first commercial designs were introduced in passenger automobiles during the 1970s with limited success and actually caused some fatalities.[2] Broad commercial adoption of airbags occurred in many markets during the late 1980s and early 1990s with a driver airbag, and a front passenger airbag as well on some cars; and many modern vehicles now include six or more units.[3]
Vehicle identification number VINs were first used in 1954.[1] From 1954 to 1981, there was no accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers used different formats.
Catalytic converter As an alternative, catalytic converters were moved to a third of the way back from the engine, and were then placed underneath the vehicle.
Classic car Organizations such as the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) and the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) maintain a list of eligible unmodified cars that are called "classic". These are described as "fine" or "distinctive" automobile, either American or foreign built, produced between 1915–1925 and 1942–1948.
