This link gives you the motor vehicle safety standards from 1968 or so.  It
would appear that a 1968 Tiger would have headrests and an energy absorbing
steering column.  I doubt this would have killed production.  Chrysler
simply stopped making the cars because they used Ford components that
Chrysler did not want to warranty.  They also had their own plans for the
Alpine, anybody remember the 1968 Sunbeam Alpine?
