Pinto Explosions
« on: October 10, 2006, 06:24:58 PM »
I am looking for some incite on the following topic:  Pinto Explosions.  I am working on a project for my university that involves automobile safety.  I know that there was a lot of controversy in the mid-70s about the Pinto and Ford Motor Company.  I was wondering if anybody out there has had first hand experience with the "exploding gas tank".  Anything would probably be useful, stories, video clips, facts, charts, etc...

Three of mine did that last week. (J.K.)
