I recently saw that on one of the news channels. It appeared to be a completely restored car they used and was likely bought off ebay for the sole purpose of destroying it. The video was an eye opener but what a waste of what appeared to be a fairly nice car.

At least it's a 4 door....man, that got tore up, which surprised me a lot.

Wow...we've come a long way. I guess crumple zones are for real.

I'm not buying any of it!! Looks like 100% staged to me. There is no way that a "Sherman Tank" like that 59 is going to crumble like that by being hit by that new Chevy.. I see lots of accidents in my job and this is just not going to happen!! Somebody "made up" this video....

------I can see two sides to this wreck. 1st. How rusty and degraded was the frame and entire structure of the 59??? Then, on the other side of the coin, The 59 is an X-frame and I would think that the driver to driver hit would be the worst hit a 59 could take. Theres no outer perimeter to keep the Malibu out of the drivers compartment.......Bill S

Did you see the rust & dust flying from the 59. The whole thing was staged.

Here's another clip which shows some inside shots.
