If someone hasn't seen this, it is interesting. http://www.iihs.org/video.aspx/info/50thcrash. 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...

RE: [old-chevy-truck] 2009 Chevrolet vs. 1959 Chevrolet
allen i rolled a 58 pickup when i was 17, way back then. trust me, you do not want to do that. roof comes down, gas pours all over the driver (from that handy filler neck), doors fly open, etc... seat belts are good to keep the kids under control when you hit the brakes lap belts in our trucks are a sure fire way to bite the steel dash in a wreck 3 point belts might save your but in a 30mph wreck i put them in my truck because my wife wanted them yes it was a shame to crash that 59 Kurt 58 3100 Apache project the Duracell Project it keeps going... and going... When I die, i want to go asleep and peaceful, not screaming and freaking out like everyone else in the car.

Yeah ; I wasn't happy to see them destroy a ' Batmobile ' Chevy as they were mostly scrapped from the 1960's through the late 1980's , being almost _unsellable_ at -any- price.. I hope all here realize that our beloved old trucks (and cars) are all 100 % _DEATH_TRAPS_ ~no way 'round it , nothing you can do to mitigate this sad fact .

Re: [old-chevy-truck] 2009 Chevrolet vs. 1959 Chevrolet
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. --- On Tue, 11/30/10, Jones, Allen allen.jo...@sdstate.edu wrote: From: Jones, Allen allen.jo...@sdstate.edu Subject: [old-chevy-truck] 2009 Chevrolet vs. 1959 Chevrolet To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010, 3:21 PM If someone hasn't seen this, it is interesting. http://www.iihs.org/video.aspx/info/50thcrash.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] 2009 Chevrolet vs. 1959 Chevrolet
I was in a crash, 9/16/2010, in CA with my old Plymouth 46 sedan. My car took a hit and prevented the big Ford Expedition from rolling over. I can supply photos, if the site will allow. Here is my version, sent to Nate, which means it is the truth: She is 19 years old, was driving angrily because she had just been fired from her job. She was speeding downhill, on a two lane rural road, next to the freeway in Alpine. She veered past the four stopped cars, waiting at a three way stop sign, hit the brakes as she passed the last car in line, as she rammed into a lady making a legitimate left turn, towards the direction the speeder was coming from. She bounced of that first car, which spun 360 degrees and careened right over PLYWOOD, as I was stopped at the third stop sign, waiting my turn. The girl was up on two wheels in the process of rolling over and hitting PLYWOOD actually bounced her vehicle back onto four wheels; which saved her from rolling down hill onto the freeway below. She didn't have a license with her and the vehicle was uninsured and her Mother, the owner was her passenger. It was all quite a mess. The CHP impounded their car and gave her a ticket for several infractions. I believe the Mother was letting the 19 year old drive because the Mother had been drinking all day, this at 1 PM on a Thursday. I filed the SR-1 with CA DMV and my collector car ins is paying about 95% of my expenses. I am out of pocket about $600+, mainly because there was a $250 towing limit on my coverage and I wanted to get PLYWOOD back to Art, whom you met, and who has nearly finished restoring PLYWOOD.
