In fairness, cars were much more likely to explode back then. I still remember my dad bolting a piece of steel behind the rear seat of a mustang, because there was a good chance of the passengers being engulfed in flames from a rear end collision due to the location and configuration of the gas tank. I think the Pinto was even worse if my memory serves.
