I think its great to see the differences 50 years of innovation can make, before seeing this video I thought that the belair would have crushed the new car. now Im glad I traded the Jag for a newer holden.

An unexpected result. I thought the old cars made from thicker gauge steel and without crumple zones would slice through new ones like the proverbial hot knife through butter.

+1 Agreed

Those old Belair's are hard to find classics, now minus one more.

From another site about this clip:

"sending a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air hurtling into a collision with a 2009 Malibu at 40 miles per hour."
