During the mid-1950s, Father Alfred Juliano set out to construct the safest car to ever be introduced in the United States. The Aurora introduced at least 10 new safety features. These included seat belts, a collapsible steering column, puncture-proof tires, side impact protection systems (SIPS), padded dash, and a structural cage around the vehicle, to name a few. Mechanically, the Aurora featured a 264ci Buick engine and an automatic transmission. Just the one prototype was built.
