Crash test conducted between a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. In a real-world collision similar to this test, occupants of the new model would fare much better than in the vintage Chevy.

Crumple zone technology has saved so many lives down the years. My mother wouldn't be here today without it, she was in a head on crash 10 years ago in a 60 mph zone.

Fuck's ache! I am shocked at the amount of damage that pure steel Chevy got!

Unfortunately the steel was too strong in the front of the car, so it folded at the weakest spot - right where the windscreen and door intersect.

I can't believe they ruined that perfectly good Bel Air.
