<VV> Corvair crash worthness

[Clark Hartzel]

Many years ago my brother-in-law was driving a 1963 Corvair to work and was
sitting at a traffic light when he got rear ended by a big honking Cadillac
sedan.  He was "punted" thru the intersection and fortunately was not hurt
other than a sore neck.  The impact was hard enough to pop both quarter
panels outward and the oil filter adapter put a dent in the rear frame rail
but didn't break.  He drove the car home and continued to drive it "bent".
The Cadillac smashed in the headlights, grill, radiator into the fan, puked
all it's coolant onto the street, and had to be towed away!  "Take that you
big road hog"!
