Couldn't find crash tests of classic Cads, though, but I remember seeing one from a program on car safety, from the segment on air bags, since when they became big again in the early 90s people were concerned with how they would age. The pulled an old DeVille with ACRS from the junk yard (imagine the ordeal to find that!) and crash-tested it, the ACRS worked like a charm! Those old GM Air Cushion Restraint System cars actually had two-stage air bags! I'd love to have one of those cars...

I love how when they're taking the dummy out at the end he's got his hand at his head like "Ow my head...".
I haven't had french since grammar school but they said the test was a head-on, the results were catastrophic, and it took two people to open the door because the structure was deformed.
