This test was for IIHS's 50th year anniversary in the safety research business. It's amazing the how far we've come.

Unfortunately people nowadays need more protection because they pay less attention.

Wow! Makes me think twice about driving around my Studebaker.

Damn, I always thought that an old car would plow right through anything.

It does bother me that they had to ruin a classic car... :-)

Yeah, what a waste of a 59.

That was a pretty cool test, never would have thought the BelAir would have been that bad off. You hear people talking about those old cars as "Boats" and it sounds like they can take a beating.... Not sure about that anymore.

Does anybody out there know where I can get a 1959 Bel Air for my soon to be ex-wife.:-):-):-)

No just concerned for her safety. Whats the old saying "They just don't build things like they use to".
