Old car vs New car

Yikes. Wonder what a 1959 v 1959 would do. New cars are designed to effectively 'cut through' what they hit in order to preserve their occupants, hence why this looks so savage I expect.....oh, and 50 years of development. Fifth Gear did a modern Espace v a mid 90's Espace a few years ago. That was also very scary.

I think it's a bloody shame to destroy what looks like a perfectly good car from the 1950's. I can only hope it was in a very poor mechanical state and was sprayed up to look good again.

 

Obviously, with computer-aided design, stress points and strengths in structures can be finely tuned for safety. No doubt, in 20 years time, we'll all look back and chuckle at this era.
