'73 Pontiac Ventura in Moving Violation

[@gregharvie3896]

Hi from Sydney, Australia. From mid 1973 to end production of the full size 1976 cars from all 5 GM divisions any coupe, sedan, or wagon (but not a convertible, nor the giant Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousines) all could be had with GM's patented Air Cushion Restraint System. ARCS was hideously expensive for the time, out of 19.4 million sold big full size GM cars over a 3.5-year period a mere 10,231 cars were fitted with them and near 7,000 were California government cars. So very , very , rare indeed. I have a right hand drive 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Talisman (a special model) , it had been ordered from an aussie, Sydney GM Holden dealership, sent out as a CKD kit (completely knocked down) to be built as a factory RHD car. It has ARCS, also the equally rare GM MAXTRAC traction control & ABS combined unit. Back then from 1971 to 1974 we Aussies could only order either a Buick Riviera, or a Caddy Fleetwood as RHD cars. I've been the second owner of my black '74 Talisman now for 42 years. Your US NTSB in 2018 found in junkyards near 80 GM cars with ACRS, they crash tested ALL of them & after fitting a new battery. EVERY car's airbag went off AND, all the crash test dummies fared better than in any modern car recently tested due to their massive strength and the Air Cushion Restraint System.

[@gregharvie3896]

@@frebnewman6403 Yes offered for just 3 years, 74.75,76. In those 3 years GM sold 19.4 million new cars, and just a mere 10,231 went out the door with ARCS air cushion restraint system. With such a pathetic take up GM canned them until the 1992 model year about a year after the Euro's & the Jap's started offering them. But the GM ones were superior as they had long life mercury which detectors which simply will not fail, they detected G-force and angle of attack, deploying the airbags at revised case specific force at time of deployment. To this day in 2024 ONLY the GM AC-Delco ones do this, high quality US engineering at its very best. Now back to cars sold, out of the 10,231 near 8,000 were Californian government cars, so out of 19.4 million 1974 to 1976 GM cars near only 2,231 were sold to "joe" public. Reliability, just before Covid-19 broke out in early 2021 the US NTSB rounded up just over 80 old GM '74 to '76 ACRS cars from wrecking yards, all were fitted with new batteries for the system to work and some were crash tested at 55 mph into walls and acute front side angle impacts, EVERY cars ACRS system worked perfectly. The rest were used in/on their outside test facility where they were deployed at real world open road speeds up against modern cars, the result for the modern cars was not so good when attacked by 19 foot long 2.5-ton cars that were of super heavy-duty construction bodies on a full chassis. The crash test dummies in the big heavy mid '70's monsters all would have survived, but the same could not be said for the crash test dummies in the new small mono constriction chassis less cars, if real people there would have been zero survivors in the new small light weight cars at real world freeway speeds, the big heavy full chassis '70's cars just ripped them apart. In 2 weeks' time I will have been driving my now 50-year-old '74 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Talisman for 42 years, I'm the second owner, as a '74 model Australia went to metric measurement so its a kilometres car, bought in '82 with102700 ks, it now has 706000ks that's about 445.000miles, with GM's Maxtrac which is AAAAAAAABS & traction control combined with its self levelling suspension & its ACRS airbags this is just as good as a modern car , throw into the mix its 3.2 tons dry weight , once you add 30gallons of fuel, fill the monster cooling system then add the oil for engine, tranny & power steering you'd be at 3.5 tons then throw in some people and you are at near 4 tons, hit a tinny lightweight new car at open road speed and the big old car with airbags will win, like a road fortress, I'm a retired doctor I've looked after my '74 Talisman like it was worth a million dollars, as it was one of just two CKD Talisman kits sent to GM Holdens' Pagewood Sydney plant to build as a factory right hand drive car, its been flawless.

Very expensive option available for just 3.5 years, mid '73 until end '76.

[@gregharvie3896]

From Sydney, Australia. GM, no not Mercedes, invented and patented the airbag in 1972, offered to the buying public in mid 1973, shown and described in all the 1974, 1975,1976 GM car brochures for the full-size cars, not the mid-size. Available in any coupe, sedan or wagon, but not in convertibles nor the giant Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousines. Patented as ACRS air cushion restraint system. More advanced than any other makers unit, then or NOW, as multiple mercury switch G-force sensors around the car measured / detected what was happening and deployed the airbags at lower pressure for a low-speed impact and higher pressure for a high-speed impact, there are occupant detector sensors, 3 on a front bench seat , and 1 each on a bucket seat , or split bench seat. If there are no detected occupants on the passenger side , the airbag will deploy at a lower pressure and lower down, watch the film again and in slow speed and you will see the bigger passenger side one deploy and lower down as the "bum" detectors did not register any occupants sitting there. GM at the same time also had MAXTRAC, a combined abs & traction control system, also pre-tensioning anti dive seat belts too. Hideously expensive, out 0f 19.4million cars sold in the US over the 3-year period, just a mere 10,231 GM ACRS equipped cars were made/sold. 7,000 of them were Californian government vehicles. There are a number of documentaries now on you tube that are from the time interviewing people who had been in GM ACRS cars that crashed. More recently in 2018 the US NTSB hunted down almost 80 1970's GM ACRS equipped cars to see if the system still worked, as there have been a growing number of fatalities and terrible injuries from more modern airbag equipped cars where the airbags did not deploy, Mercedes Benz was near the top of the list of cars where airbags did not deploy. So, after the hunt for the rare GM ACRS cars, NTSB fitted them with new batteries to make the circuit operate they started smash testing them with crash test dummies. Using multiple mercury switches meant few electronics to ever fail after near 5 decades, every one of the old dead beat cars airbags deployed, and did the job very well indeed coupled with the car's massive construction the outcome was better than any modern car test results. The NTSB decided to then send the cars into the crash barriers at way higher speeds than normal to see if there was an upper limit, this is when NTSB engineers found that the cars inner controls deployed the airbags at higher pressure if the speed/impact was to occur at a higher speed, this exceeds any modern vehicle no matter what the brand or its purchase price. Furthermore, the old GM cars that were equipped with the pre-tensioning seatbelts will pull your upper torso back into the seat, plus the automatically locking lap half stops under dash porpoising restrained the crash test dummies better than any modern vehicles seat belts. When studying the old GM cars after the tests, the NTSB engineers found that the front 1 foot crumple zone did its job perfectly, and it had been helped by the 6" travel on the massive hydraulic shock/impact absorbing rams that allowed that would leave the body panels damage free at the US federally mandated 5 mph. Using remaining cars, the NTSB engineers found that this GM bumper system would basically leave the cars damage free at between 15 and 20 mph, they massively exceeded their required 5 mph, but this helped in real-world high-speed impacts as it wiped off energy better than any other vehicles recently tested and leaving the passenger area as if there had been no accident at all. Same as in this movie. I have been the second owner now for 42 years of a 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Talisman which is a special model also only offered for '74, '75, '76. My black one was ordered by its first owner from a Sydney GM Holden dealer as a CKD Kit car (completely knocked down i.e. parts) to built as a factory right hand drive car at GM Holdens Aust Sydney plant at Pagewood near the airport. My top-of-the-line car has all THREE of these GM systems, ACRS, MAXTRAC & pre-tensioning seat belts. At car shows people are amazed, but the Aussie RHD glove box manual has photos & describes all 3 of these systems, additionally the big 18" x 15" multi page deluxe brochure spends 6 pages to describe and depict ACRS, a further 4 pages for each of Maxtrac and the seat belts. For 1974 Cadillacs equipped with ACRS came with lovely leather steering wheels, which had 4 "arms" to join it to the central airbag hub and on the 4 arms there were 4 brushed aluminium horn press buttons and the central hub is nicely made. However, for 1975 and 1976 this wheel disappeared and a soft feel plastic version appeared for its hon press buttons small raised plastic rectangles appeared in roughly the same spots as the alloy ones of its '74 leather faced predecessor, additionally the full leather interior of the '74 Talisman was not available for the 2 final years of the Talisman and other internals had been de-contented also for the 2 final years, I know why, to lower the purchase price. My '74 Cadillac Talisman's first owner bought this for himself, and a "cheaper" standard wheelbase w100 Mercedes 600 for his wife. He showed me the new car purchase invoices from Sanderson's Mercedes Benz dealership in Rose Bay, Sydney, and the Cadillac Talisman's invoice from Vern Pott's GM Holden dealership in Rose Bay, Sydney, and yes, a 1974 Cadillac Talisman with 'the lot" exceeds the purchase price of a new 1974 w100 Merc' swb 600.

From Sydney, Australia, yes it was, GM invented them, patented as ACRS (air cushion restraint system), also available via GM was MAXTRAC a joint abs & traction control system. Both were ultra-advanced for the time, and mercury switch G-force sensors around the car measured / detected when there was an issue and deployed whatever was necessary. I have a right hand drive '74 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Talisman, sent here to GM Holden's Pagewood, Sydney factory as a CKD Kit car to be built factory RHD, (completely knocked down, i.e. shipped out as parts to build a car with) it also has GM's pre-tensioning seat belts that lock in place around your stomach so you cannot slide down under the dash, also when the g-force sensors detect an issue the upper half winds you back into your seat secured like in a racing car harness. All of these items were hideously expensive and rarely ordered, I've owned my black '74 Talisman now for 42 years, its first owner ordered EVERY option except two, a thermometre on the driver's exterior mirror, and a sunroof.

@@CycolacFan Hi there, when GM did the mid model update for the '71 to '76 big cars the new '74 to '76 dashboards had been designed specifically to accommodate the airbag system, so that the glovebox area would have the lower smaller airbag for passengers, and there would be a small box like unit on the transmossi0on hump, the steering wheel held the same one for driver, and there was a single giant one across the dashtop under the small upper dash rail that held all the warning lights, The 1974 Cadillacs with airbags had nice leather wrapped steering wheels with a nice big soft leather center of steering wheel unit, and on the 4 arms that linked the central boss section to the wheel rim had 4 nice little brushed alloy horn press buttons, ALL the airbag cars for '75 and '76 had a generic cheap looking plasticky wheel combo setup with little raised plastic lines to delineate the horn press buttons, Buick & Cadillac for those 2 years had color matched airbag wheel rims etc to match the interior. However Chev, Ponti' and Olds' cars came with total mid grey interiors, dash, seats, carpets there was no choice So GM went to all the trouble to make a dual use dash for airbag or non-airbag that looked the same, and near nobody ordered the darn things, so after '76 no more GM airbag equipped cars until 1992.

@gregharvie3896 and there was a RHD version of that?

[@gregharvie3896]

@@CycolacFan Yep a perfect reverse version, over here from 1971 to 1974 if you wanted a GM USA car the choice was one of two, Buick Riviera or Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. They were never seen on dealers lots as new vehicles, as they were a special order CKD Kit (completely knocked down in other words crates of parts) customer ordered car and parts sent to GM Holden Aust's Pagewood Sydney plant and built there they were pricey when new and much of our dash was metal not plastic. Additionally there were other differences too we had amber blinker indicator at the rear, that meant the US reverse lights needed to be amber and moved outboard at rear, also the reflectors in the rear "fins" on the '74 Caddy's needed to fully illuminate for Aussie compliancy, and the front blinkers needed to be clear/white and not amber like in the USA/. GMHA also fitted heavier duty coil springs, and heavy duty sway bar at front and rear. Our headlights needed to be way brighter than in USA as well, so there were many differences, and I guess that's why there were only the 2 cars to pick from. By 1975 GNH-A cancelled importing any CKD Kits at all and it was not until 1998 when we started seeing RHD Chevy Suburban's on our roads, these were short-lived as well until2005, now we are receiving them again and although Holden as a brand here finished in 2017, the old Holden Special Vehicles plant in Dandenong in Melbourne is building RHD Suburbans, Silverados, Camaros and Corvettes. There has even been recent talk of sending Cadillac cars here too.
