For what it's worth, Oldsmobile Division offered airbags as an option in the 1974 full size models.

The option was discontinued after awhile due to lack of interest, but ---

1 or 2 years ago, someone in a '74 Olds got in a wreck-- and the airbag worked perfectly.

On the other hand, I know of a guy who had a '99 Chevy S-10 who broadsided a stray stud bull at 60 MPH at 3:00 in the morning. He walked away, the bull had to be put down. The airbags didn't deploy.

Sometimes age just doesn't matter---
