Is more depraved than ACORN.

That was odd. The 59 Chevy crumpled like a coke can. They must be making stronger frames these days. What a terrible waste of a classic.

 

I am not sure but I think the '59 only has an X frame and the 'Institute' set up the display anyway and knew it's faults and set it up for maximum damage in the most vulnerable area where it would fold in on itself...

 

Did you notice the rust looks like the frame on the 59 was rusted out. East coast car from the rust belt maybe?

 

Sick people wasting a nice car like that. What does it really prove comparing apples to oranges to justify an agency's existence? Let us compare any 1959 item with a 2009 item of similar purpose in a destructive show, say......an airplane, or......a train, or.....a house. Let's crash two houses together! SHEESH!

 

Even after seeing that from all angles, I still have a hard time believing it.

 

My money would be on the 59 house plaster vs. sheet rock, real 2 X 4's and 4 X 4's in corners. No contest

 

I agree. To show a more dramatic difference. It would not shock me a bit if we found out there was some engineered weakness was put into that 59.

I have seen plenty of crunched old cars and they just don't disintegrate like that. It fact what usually hurt and killed people in old cars is the cars not absorbing the impact. The cars held up and the people inside bounced around.
