All I have to say is that we've come a long way in terms of advancements in safety.

jalopnik had something about this, alot of people seemed to think there was not an engine in the 59, i dont see why there wouldnt be, both the V8's and Straight 6's are common in the world now. and also it wasnt a museum peice either it was an average car

and the rust colored dust is acually dirt from the underside of the bel air

In the Renault vs Volvo vid, I was pretty surprised at how much the Volvo crumpled.

Next question: Renault vs Suburban.
