I recently saw that on one of the news channels. It appeared to be a completely restored car they used and was likely bought off ebay for the sole purpose of destroying it. The video was an eye opener but what a waste of what appeared to be a fairly nice car.

Wow...we've come a long way. I guess crumple zones are for real.

I'm not buying any of it!! Looks like 100% staged to me. There is no way that a "Sherman Tank" like that 59 is going to crumble like that by being hit by that new Chevy.. I see lots of accidents in my job and this is just not going to happen!! Somebody "made up" this video....

I’m going to sit back and wait for a crash test between a 1909 and a 2009. I’m sure the thicker metal on the 1909 makes a safer car……
