September 30, 200916 yr I've always thought of cars from the earlier era as being heavier and far less of an eggshell than more recent cars, but this video:http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Insurance/InsureYourCar/crash-test-1959-chevy-vs-2009-chevy.aspx?gt1=33009shows otherwise. There's a small chart with the text of the article showing fatalities in comparing 1959 with 2008, and it's really a surprise how what's contemporary is safer. ~ Joe Vee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu
September 30, 200916 yr Even without seeing the video or article, I knew the newer cars would be in better shape. They have all kinds of safety features built in like crumple zones under the hood and tougher, but lighter materials for safety beams for absorbing impactsThe cars of old were mostly steel and iron and therefore just heavier and less forgiving in an impact. The weight and the movement of the impacts keeps making its way through the vehicle until physics just finally takes over and the motion is stopped.
