Before finding fame as the host of Jeopardy!, former disc jockey Art Fleming hosted this film showing all the things Ford was doing in 1956 to cut down the severity of injuries in crashes. The production and dialogue aren't terribly fancy, and the film treated more like a long news story. Seat belts were mentioned only casually; they were still accessories back then.
