Replying to: andre1969 (Sep 21, 2007 5:54 am) Buick LeSabre, Electra, Riviera Olds 88, 98, Toronado Cadillac Deville, Fleetwood, Eldorado These were dual airbags that were designed to protect all 3 front seat occupants (the passenger airbag was huge). The cars did not have shoulder belts, just lap belts. It was thought at the time that airbags could replace shoulder belts. IIRC, about 10K cars were equipped with the option -- not a huge number, and you're probably correct in that the more expensive cars were more likely to have them.
