I'm a Saab fan, but one site credits crumple zones to a 1952 Mercedes. German patent DE898850C doesn't name Mercedes, but was invented in Stuttgart. That patent issued in 1953 on an application filed in 1948. Mercedes had German Patent DE1005858 (B) issued in 1957 on an application filed in 1955. Saabmuseum mentions crumple zones as a 1967 Saab innovation. I heard the same patent story about Mercedes around 1967.
