Video of the week: 2009 Chevrolet vs 1959 Chevrolet
This test was done to celebrate the U.S. IIHS safety institute’s 50th anniversary. The IIHS is a non-government organisation that conducts crash tests on new cars. It is generally accepted that today’s cars are softer and crumple more easily, compared to the hard-boned cars of olden days. So they decided to pit a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu against a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air to see which one comes out on top.

I am now doubting that ’59 was a perfectly-functioning car. After all, who’d give up a clean classic for destruction?

^ Well there is plenty of restored ones going on auctions.. Still even though oldies had thick sheet metal still their lack of a proper frame doesnt help really..
