Location: Ramona, CA		In that video they say it's to show the strength of the unibody but the one car is a 1957 Plymouth which has a frame. It's actually originally a torsion air ride demonstration. Wouldn't want to do a panic stop. One less front brake and a ton of weight in the trunk.

Location: Northen Virginia		how in the world this guys put a ton of weight in the trunk? Even a Pick up struggle with that much weight, besides according to the disk brake conversion gurus this 6000 pounds plus elephant will never stop! LOL

Location: Eastern Manitoba		2000 lbs in the trunk = approximately 8-10 dead gangsters. Excellent selling point for the 1960 Detroit / Chicago trip.

for 2000 lbs in the trunk they must have installed some massive leaf springs, not to mention the rear tires would have been massively overloaded, and braking would have been horrible!
