Crashworthiness? Get real. When the torsion bar front ends were designed the big safety features were door locks that wouldn't open in a crash. Seat belts were an option if you could get them at all. Steering columns would spear you. Crashworthiness was far from top of the list and if anyone gave it a thought it was to make the car more resistant to crumpling. Energy absorption and controlled deformation were decades in the future and really only occurred because of the government.

You left out the 7"x12"x3/4" Foam crash dash safety pad , and your point is well taken

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
