Comment on If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars?

Everyone is concentrating on the crumple zones and safety at the crash. Remember that modern cars have features that make it easier to avoid the crash in the first place. Antilock brakes. Traction control. Lane assist/warning. Better headlamps, adaptive headlamps. Better suspension and handling. All things to avoid crashes.

All good reasons to avoid the 70’s car.

Everyone is concentrating on that because that’s what the actual question is about. OP didn’t ask to avoid the collision.

  “If so why don’t people buy more 70’s cars?”. IMHO, this is actually the whole point of the OP’s question.
