Title: Old versus NEW
Post by: Jethro on May 09, 2011, 07:54:27 PM

YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THIS AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIMENT......
HEAD-ON CRASH OF 1959 CHEVY WITH 2009 CHEVY

Amazing, one would have never believed it without seeing it.  Read below then watch the video especially the overhead view of the accident. A 2009 car vs. a 1959 car in a crash  test.  Guess which one wins.    How many times have you heard: "I wish they would make cars the way they did in the old days."  
You know how we always think about what big huge tanks the old cars of the 50's and 60's were for size?  And how we talk about how there is so much plastic on the new cars that if one of the old tanks ever collided with a new car, the new car would be demolished?  Well, someone in the insurance industry put that theory to the test.

Its a pears as thought the dummy  in the new vehicle  has fared better

As dummy is supported  well by the bag
where dummy in older vehicle head hits the  turret
Neither vehicle looks like it would  drive way from the scene.

from another angle it looks like the end result  of a  NSW police chase
