Only 15% of you car drivers
showed any interest in the
safety factors of your vehicles
during 1953.

That’s the figure that comes
out of a Fortune magazine sur-
vey. Top requirements of car
buyers were dependability and
looks. Things like economy and
extra gadgets showed up quite
well, but safety interested only
15% of the buyers.

SORRY”

looking grill-work, shatter like
glass.

Bogus Strength

The solidity and strength are
bogus, but the illusion continues
regardless of all the unhappy
contrary evidence to be seen.

One wonders if -people would
be less reckless if they sat in an
open carriage like the old-time
buggy, without the false security
imparted by paper-thin metal
walls. Perhaps if the walls were
transparent it might help, too.

False Security

As things stand it is not likely
that there will be a return to
open carriage designs other than
those known in convertible types.
Despite the knowledge that the
wall of a car is a thin, deceptive
thing, the car designer will suc
ceed in maintaining a lulled feel-
ing of false security. Maybe if
we counter this illusion by driv-
ing/as though the car was made
of egg shells?
