i saw that clip about a month ago- look closely- just like an advertisement- there's a little lack of truth..... notice theres no drivetrain installed- also on the pass side shot of the impact- note all the rust and sand/debris ejected from the rocker panel. also- more- the fenders were hardly attached- the pass side clearly visible- is the fact that the door jamb bolts were not present.. as the bosses were not ripped apart- just there unscathed...
the new car would win i guess for safety equipment, but not fold that bad- a good friend crashed a car i sold him- a 63 chevy 2dr with no rust and 30xxx miles- uses the same x-frame as the 59 pictured- he went 70mph into a viaduct support when a bmw cut him off on the parkway- he went out the pass side of the windshield- the water pump broke off and the trans tailshaft came through and poked the back seat cushion... but i took him home from the hospital that same night... lucky? or the car a little stronger than the obama-supporters want us to believe????
i have pics of the aftermath somewhere.... he was on his way to finish the paint job.....
