I didn't think those things could go fast enough to cause such damage.

Must've been going down a steep hill.

50mph = 80kph and even a modern car at impact will sustain serious damage at that speed. Image what a Vette would look like.

And brakes -- for want of a better word -- would have mostly been mechanical drums.

What strikes me is how most of those 1930's vehicles simply  fell apart like they were glued together. I guess many of them had flimsy bodies attached to the chassis with a few bolts. (Hmmm)
