No engine block in the lap.Built like a tank.
Reminds me of my dad telling of an accident he had to attend. Car of this era had crashed into a tree on a country road. Dented bumper but rest of car unaffected.
Of course all the passengers were killed, praise crumple zones on modern cars!!
Or in a really bad prang, getting skewered on the steering column!No engine block in the lap.
