Re: IML: classic car safety

[Brad Hogg <luxoliner@xxxxxxx>]

It's true that Volvos are some of the best cars to be in if you are in a 
collision.  IMO, they have to protect their occupants better than most cars 
because the people who drive them are far more likely to be involved in a 
collision.  This is a damn shame, regardless what they were driving.  These 
were needless fatalities due to the complacency and inattention of one 
individual.



The Duesy would have no doubt been restored to original specs but the 
addition of seat belts would have been a good excuse to deviate from factory 
spec.  I'd think that I would have gone that way.  I'll have to remember my 
little speech when I restore my 51 Imperial.  (<--Imperial Content)

Some of you may have already seen or heard about this tragedy in Ann Arbor, 
Michigan.  The car was worth more than any of our Imperials will ever be, 
which is not to diminish the values of the lives lost.  Buckle up, if you 
can!
