50 years of improvement in car safety

For those of us who still think that "they don't make cars like they used to", watch this video clip. It's a crash test video of a 1959 Chevy Bel Air hitting a 2009 Chev Malibu, and it's rather eye-opening. Car safety has come a long way.

Holy cow...

I used to own a 1976 Malibu. I wonder how that would have held up against the current one. That thing seemed like a tank, but I was a teenager at the time...

It probably wouldn't have been nearly as safe as the modern ones!
