Crash Test 59 Chevy vs New Malibu

[The Dude]

There is absolutely nothing to these old cars front ends. Notice the Malibu finally stops when it hits the Impalas cowl area. Most of those old GM cars had front clips held on by 8-10 bolts. There is nothing there to absorb a collision.

Here are two photos of a GTO that hit a tree then a utility pole. Notice what where the pole stopped, the cowl just like the Impala.
