    DAMN, I would of bet the 59 Chevy would of held up better than that, WOW! Then again, they had no safety reinforcements at all.

    Air Bags wouldn't of helped in the 59, look at what happens to the driver when the malibu hits it, He literally gets his ass ran over inside the car. I can see why he was killed instantly...
