When I read your post my first thought was because of the weight difference in the two vehicles. The 164E had a longer bonnet to accommodate the 6 cylinder motor.

I looked at the door tag inside the drivers door, and it states that the GVW of my 1975 164E is 4260 lbs! When I had this car shipped from Iowa to Tucson, the carrier made a comment on the weight of the vehicle and how it just glided down the road on his trailer. I guess that is why they hold up so well in an accident.
