Wow!!! Saw this earlier. Amazing difference.

the part that surprised me the most about the video is I had been told my whole life that old cars like that were built solid and had no crumple zones. So I really didn't expect the whole front end of the car to be crushed in like it was. I mean not having a crumple zone to absorb the impact is bad, but the video makes it looks like the modern car just cuts right through the old one...

My wife walked away from a rear end accident the guy hit her going 70+, she was stopped. Nuff Said.

that's fine and dandy, but why the f*%& did they use a damn perfect '59 Bel Air?
That broke my heart.

Stupid pointless waste of a beautiful car.

if it was a actually brand new I think their would have been a big difference for two reasons: 1) the car was fairly rusted (big orange cloud that came up) and 2) the car was probably covered in bondo to cover rust holes and dents with a fresh coat of paint

as I just said the car was most likely not a very good condition car
