<VV> FW: Not made like they used to myth

[Harry Yarnell]

I don't see an engine in that '59...

  

Subject: CRASH OF 1959 Chevy with 2009 Chevy

Stay with this 'til the end as there are several camera views and summary
text. A 2009 car vs. a 1959 car in a crash test. Guess which one wins. NO 
SOUND, but the video is enough.

How many times have you heard: "I wish they would build cars like they
did in the old days."

This video dispels that myth. You know how we always think about what big
huge tanks the old cars of the 50's and 60's were for size? And how we
talk about how there is so much plastic on the new cars that if one of 
the old tanks ever collided with a new car, the new car would be demolished?

Well, someone in the insurance industry put that theory to the test. Be
sure to watch toward the end - especially  the overhead view - and the 
assessment of driver injury. Fasten your seat belts.
