The Air Cushion Restraint System was a very rare, $300 feature that was introduced in 1974 on Buick, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac models. The system replaced the tilt-telescopic steering wheel with a nonadjustable steering column, and the glove box was moved to the underside of the dash. The system was unpopular and GM discontinued it in 1976. In the mid-80's, Cadillac reintroduced a modified version of the Air Cushion Restraint system, called Supplemental Restraint, which has since became standard all passenger vehicles.

Another useless safety fact: Cadillac was the car to use ABS. In 1971, Cadillac offered a Trackmaster, rear-wheel anti-lock system, as a $200 option. The system again proved unpopular and was discontinued in '76, but was later reintroduced as standard equipment in the '80's.
