When my Mom came to the US she got what she could afford, which happened to be a huge 1970's (or maybe 60's) Plymouth. Compared to the tiny European car she had driven (Fiat 500 size), this was an aircraft carrier. She called it "the Tank". I remember this car because I was in it when it hit someone who ran a red light. The Tank had just started moving and only got a dent, Mom only scratched her chin on the wheel (2-point seatbelts), the Escort(?) was totalled, its driver flew out through the windshield (no seatbelts). Thankfully it all looked worse than it really was, the guy was OK.
That Plymouth reminds me of a saying about Soviet cars: You can dent it, but you won't break it.
