This video will give you a new persepective....
YouTube - ‪Crash test: 1959 Chevy Bel Air‬‏
They had the statictics previously and it went on to say the guy in the 57 was killed instantly and the driver in the newer Malibu had a sprained or broken ankle. |
The steering collapsible column is one innovation that I would not want to do without. This video proves it again. In the mid '70s a teenage girl in our neighborhood was killed instantly in a crash by the steering wheel in a mid-'50s Ford truck. This video may have been rigged some how-I doubt it-but that column is hard to overlook where it goes. And doesn't the X-frame have a perimeter frame too, just not as much as a "conventional" frame?
