10 DASHBOARD Features From The 1970s That Would FAIL Every Modern Safety Test Pull up a stool. Pop's been working on these since before you were born. A 1970s dashboard was not designed by a safety engineer. It was designed by a stylist with a slide rule, a stack of chrome trim samples, and a thirteen-thousand-dollar budget. The result was a beautiful piece of mid-century industrial art that, in a 30mph collision, became a museum of head injuries. Tonight Pop walks you through ten dashboard features that were standard equipment in 1970s American cars and would not pass a single safety test today. Every one is paired with the year it was finally outlawed and the crash data that ended it. 🏁 Subscribe and pull up a stool.
