1959 Chevrolet Bel Air Vs. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu

[RedRide]

I don't think we are seeing the full story here.

You see a lot of parts flying from both vehicles but honestly, I failed to see which car fared the worse.

The angle/point of contact and the camera angle its self has been carfully orchestrated to give the impression that the new Chevy is tougher than the old.

The '59 Chevy has a heavey, seperate frame with a heavy V8 that probably would convey to the '09 who is boss in a real head on.

BTW, I had a "'55 and a '57 Chevy and they were "tanks" compared to newer cars.
They were not made to "crumple" back then!

Uh, it's the Bel Air.

They state in the video description:

"The dummy in the Malibu suffered only minor leg injuries while the dummy in the Bel Air would have died instantly"
