Hi guys I just bought a 74 Toronado with the Airbag option. My question is how many of these were built in 74 and I read that the first airbag car built for 74 was a Toronado any way I can find out what the VIN was

I don't the numbers on the 1974 and 1975 Toros withe the air bag option.
I remember seeing on 60 Minutes, back in the 1980s about air bags.
The beginning of that segment 1975 Toronado that was hit a head on,the female owner wa unaware that this Oldsmobile had the rare air bag option.
I have not be able to find that segment on YouTube.

I think the incident you refer to was a lot more recent than the 1980s. I recall hearing about it on the news. I believe it occurred in the 90s or 2000s. The woman had owned the car since new.

Here is an incident similar to the one you refer.

I swear I remember a much more recent incident of a similar nature but can't find it on the web.
