I wanna say a couple of things about the '59 vs '09 Chevys. One, I really winced when I saw a CREAMPUFF 1959 Chevy being destroyed like that-As I'm sure most of you guys did, as well. Secondly, they KINDA "Cooked the Books" a bit, the '59 Chevy-well, ALL the 1959 GM cars had a "Wasp-Wasted" frame that gave Zero, Zilch, Zed protection in a crash, but allowed designers to lower the body so it Looked Better. They started going to the "X-Frame" in the 1957 model year, & used it til the 1965 model year. The point was well & truly made, however, that the older cars were pretty much "Death Traps" by comparison to modern cars.
