Hey All, I was in a wreck, with my 46 Plymouth, 9/15/10. My left front was smashed by a big Ford Expedition, I wasn't hurt; however, my old post war steel car prevented the big vehicle from rolling over. I'll submit pics, if the site will allow.

Take note of the A pillar performance between the Malibu and Bel Air - it's remarkable. It really does drive home the point on what to expect in a offset frontal impact. I think this would even apply to our old trucks. I get a false sense of security thinking my added seat belts will protect me in a serious crash. Not to mention the javelin of a steering column that will likely impale thought my chest. It is a shame they destroyed the Bel Air. This email is full of happy thoughts... Allen '50 3100 PS Also note the dust (or is it sand blast grit?) that comes out of the rocker panel of the Bel Air on impact. Impressive. ------------------------------------ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
