For its 50th anniversary, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) did a crash test last September 9th between a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu and a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air to show improvement in safety.

What a waste, ruining a beautiful classic like that.

Old news, posted on here before too.
Yeah, it's been around. Still very interesting though. Malibu thankfully performed very well.
Sucks they had to smash up a classic like that, but it was a "creative" way to show how far safety has come.
I still would like to see something like two newer cars going at it, to see which stacks up better VS the other.
