Photo should be easy to come by + notability
Government car = public domain government photos?

Highly disagree that this car isn't notable - seems to be a pioneer in safety that other cars emulated decades later. it's relevant to the 1960s "unsafe at any speed" fallout as well. bare minimum it needs a section in another article. Anonymous-232 (talk) 23:47, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Notability / Further editing
While somewhat niche, I believe that this is notable enough to have at the very least a stub article. According to the Jalopnik article, over 10,000 interested people called in to the NHTSA voicing their approval of the vehicle or at least its development. The cover-up of the RSV car is likely connectable to the trend of larger vehicles in the USA, albeit that would be under a criticisms section only based on available sources.
