That test is fake.

Well, I mean, ok, it is real. And I admit, those old cars from the 50s-70s were not built to be crashed, and behave very differently in a crash than a modern car built to pass crash test regulations. And to that effect, were not as safe as modern cars. Of course, I'm talking only about structurally, negating the lack of airbags, seat belts, and head rests. But, you can literally see the rust cloud coming out of that old Chevy on impact. I am a mechanic, in a place that salts their roads, I know car rust. That is not like a little bit of surface rust or something, that is A LOT of rust. There's one shot where you can see the rust literally pouring out of the frame onto the floor! That Bel Air was not as structurally sound as it was when it was built.

Besides, it wasn't a fair fight anyway.

You wanna see old cars fighting old cars? Check this out :P
