I'm glad I'm on a motorcycle, wearing a helmet, Kevlar jacket, and no kids allowed on it. If I get wiped out, so be it, at least I knew the risk getting on the bike. I feel bad for the public back then that were clueless they were in suicide machines. seat belts 1964, collapsible steering column 1968, headrests 1968, side marker lights 1968, 5 mph bumpers 1975. Still, I would never get in a Fiat 500 or Mini Cooper with bubba riding around in a F-350 dually.
Best comment. Ship it!!!! hahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alway about the dollars and why would you ever go over 30miles and hour.
My mom had a Ford Fairlane 500. She got into an accident with a new car and total the new car. My moms car didn't have a dent...it was a tank. (No lie)
I thought the Chevy looked well preserved, but I've been wrong before. I will say those things were flimsy new. That joke of a front bumper wasnt even there for show; shame on GM's design studio. I was kid in the early '70's and never saw one, but I saw '58's and '57's. See the wraparound windshield fly over the '09's roof? I wonder how a '58 would have done. Yes, all the cars here were Mopars.
...and in the '70's, Detroit Iron had "Designer Headrest" for looks only, the whole car was one big crumple zone and the seat belts were to keep your lifeless body in the car because the ambulance drivers were too lazy to look for your body.
Nice to see the childrens days of car security technology. Btw, is it true that american street cruiser such asthe AMC had their fuel tanks been installed inside the doors and rear fenders really?
These pioneering crash tests by UCLA and ITTE led to improvements in door latches, seat latches, the requiring of seat belts in cars and other safety improvements over the years. I was an EMT in the late '70's and early '80's and saw what can happen to someone in an older car. It wasn't pretty.
What is most disturbing is how much the car companies fought safety improvements knowing full well the results of these tests. By 1946 a neurologist in CA had developed retractable seat belts and was studying the issues; in 1955, proposed not only the retractable seat belt, but also recessed steering wheels, reinforced roofs, roll bars, door locks and passive restraints such as the now-and-ever-popular air bag.It took laws passed by Congress to get them into automobiles.
@MrAcuralvr You said Chrysler was made by GM. They were never made by GM. They have always been their own separate company. (Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep). Do a little research before you post info that is not correct. I can't stand people who open then mouth only to insert their foot!!!
@bodyvegas maybe you need to do research all those companies are gm related then chrystler got bought out omg youre dumb go troll another video were other people are as stupid as you!
@MrAcuralvr You stupid fuck!! Chrysler was never owned by GM - Is your fucking browser broken?? Go look under Chrysler Corp and READ, or do you not know how to read, you brain dead, read neck asshole? What a stupid fuck you are!!!
Many people of vintage vehicles have retrofitted their ignition systems to electronic ignition systems further enhancing engine performance and efficiency. Also vintage suspension systems can be made to perform incredibly well with gas shocks, the addition of rear sway bars and polyurethane bushings; disc brake retrofits; stock power steering boxes rebuilt to have a firm feel and quicker response, etc. I know old cars well. Stock looking modern upgrades can really enhance the driving experience.
Most vintage auto collectors know the importance of proper maintenance of their vintage cars and trucks. With general maintenance of tuneups (points, condenser, spark plug changes and periodic carb adjustments those vintage vehicles will run very smoothly and some quite efficiently. Okay, so they don't have all the bells and whistles and safety galore that a modern vehicle has. But I love those gorgeous creations that came out of Detroit way back when, and so do A LOT of other people.
It amazes me how many people believe that small car=unsafe, and big car=safe, no matter what the year.
It also amazes me all the folks who want to drive 'vintage' cars. To me, they all sucked. They handle like crap, pollute like crazy (you can smell the exhaust, and they spew out like 500x the noxious fumes when you measure them) get crappy gas mileage, and are just plain unsafe.
@pimpb0tt They look better and have way more personality. Prius.........what, are you gay? [im not homophobic, im making a reference]. Pull up in a 65 Impala, you think anyone is going to ask you that? Old cars are just cooler and there are brand new engines and retrofit technology, as well as hq aftermarket seatbelts that many people are investing to make ligitamately green, safer vintage cars. AAND as far as gas mileage goes... the cars seen here do better than a new v6 midsize suv. 1sthand
What... seatbelts? For serious? You gonna retrofit 3 point seatbels with explosive retractors (tied to the air bags), a uni-body, crumple zones, ABS, ESP, Airbags in the steering wheel, dash, in the seats and in the A and B pillars? Puh-leeze. You gonna retrofit drive by wire throttle (for the ESP), close loop fuel injection, EGR, Air injection and catalytic converters?
Heck, most of those cars didn't even have head rests in them.
And asking if I'm gay, even in jest pretty much means you are a bigoted homophobe.
And FYI, I dive an Audi A4 that gets 30 mpg, and even bone stock will still smoke your Impala land yacht in a straight line or on the track. Not that my car defines me. It's just a car. Just saying things have progressed in the last 50 years a bit.
@pimpb0tt U completely missed every point I tried to make, and again I insist I am not homophobic. It was a Jeff Dunham [the ventriloquist comedian] reference. Cars have improved, you are 100% right.
There they go, all real, good, and pretty cars.. Well there's not much use for those REAL cars these days, unless you're millionaire. Normal fuel in Finland is about 1,65e per 1L, when it was 2 or 3 years ago 1,20e.. Fuck that shit.
@bergsteinlife You should check out the crash test between a '59 Bel Air and an '09 Malibu. Watch that one and then tell me there's been no progress in 50 years.
1:24 guy falls out the car 1:25 hes dead from his head getting ran over and the impact of the concrete and then him and a nuthher persons stuck to the car

Actually, SOMETIMES not wearing seatbelt in a car that's not equipped with airbags is better.
There have been many accidents where the driver is thrown in the back of car, when the whole front was totally destroyed. They have survived just because they didn't wear seatbelts, what would keep them in their front seats.
They are testing them without engines and alot of the interior is not bolted down, hence the way the seat just flys around with ease... look it up there several articles that talk about these videos where they show how "great" new cars are... HA!!! sorry to burst ur bubble but a little common knowledge for ya, metal weighs more then plastic its stronger also, old cars hold up alot better in crashes just cuz their aint airbags doesnt mean anything if the body receives less damage there is no need
These tests were performed by the University of California at Los Angeles, (UCLA) not General Motors. The cars were donated by the various auto manufacturers. They were pioneering efforts to study crash dynamics with an eye to improving vehicle safety.
People falling out of opening doors? I mean come on! How did they deem these results acceptable even back then? There's little chance you would survive any of those crashes.
These are Plymouth Savoys and Furys and Ford Galaxies. And GM did not conduct these tests. They were all done by UCLA's Institute for Transportation and Traffic Engineering.
I LIKE THE WAY THE DRIVER FALLS OUT OF CAR, HITTING HIS HEAD OF THE B PILLAR, GETS CRUSHED BETWEEN THE TWO CARS, GETS RAN OVER BY HIS OWN REAR WHEEL, THEN GETS DRAGGED UP THE ROAD! I WONDER WHAT NCAP WOULD RATE THAT??
@timon924 it was timon. I used to work for a photographer back in the mid 80's who worked for the Las Vegas police dept in the late fifties, early sixtes. That was his job to take pics of accidents. One day he showed me his pics of head-ons, people falling asleep at the wheel, etc. Be grateful for seatbelts, airbags. They were gross.
@classicautofan1 you don't even need airbags...on your list I think head restraints should replace airbags as one of the three key safety features these cars lack...
@TheSeaPeopleandMe And cars of 2050 will be safer than today's cars and people will say the same for their. Is the evolution of safety. Try to compare a 1915 car with a 1955 car. Their safety evolved too.
@Do335D True, another reason they didn't put in seatbelts until the late 50's or early 60's was because, your going to love this, "It implied that their cars were not safe" But I think Ford started to in the mid-50's, lap belts.
the faggots are those who drive oversized cars because they don't feel safe to face the road with same cars as the rest.
Stupid are those who sponsor BP like you! with your faggot monsters like the H2 and H3 thats right real homo's drive those cars here in europe (not offending the homo's)
I work in my free time as a park gardian so I am not inventing this
@215alessio 1. FUCK YOU 2. i dont sponsor bp 3. the hummer h1, h2, and h3 is a very popular car in america and the gay people drive little toyota priuses and shit like that. 4.how in the FUCKING HELL is a fucking chevy impala a fucking over sized car!?
@215alessio ok ok here we go with the numbers AGAIN 1. how the FUCK are the h2 and h3 hummers fucking dinosaurs?! they are still in production! 2. how the hell is a impala a fucking box shaped car? 3. how the hell did u arrive at the concept of if u drive a big car u support bp? 4. a toyota prius, yaris, and corolla are fucking SMALL cars and i dont think i wanna be in a toyota when the gas pettle sticks
@215alessio well, your prius, has innovative technology. but still. it has the worst gasoline engine ever made. underpowered and if it wasnt for the electric engine, it would be one of the least furl efficient cars in the history. on the highway, the fuel consumption goes at more than 7 litres /100Km. my "oversized" 09 dodge challenger SRT 6.1 uses 10 litres on the highway per 100 km. it has a much better system that makes it run on only the necessary cilinders. and on full 8 if needed.
@215alessio you would be surprised on how much people like box shaped cars, and how much people would like to spend gas well rather than looking idiotic in a hideous looking car wich's interior falls out in pieces.
new impalas look like shit because actual GM designers are on heroin while they say theyre inspired, but old impalas look better than anything you could think of. by the way, if something disappears from the earth, its called to be extinct, not extingted.

These cars look much stronger than Chevy Bel Air in 2009 Impala vs 1959 Bel Air crash test. I wonder why, maybe Bel Air had very rusted chassis.

These are Plymouth Savoys and Furys and Ford Galaxies. And GM did not conduct these tests. They were all done by UCLA's Institute for Transportation and Traffic Engineering.

I LIKE THE WAY THE DRIVER FALLS OUT OF CAR, HITTING HIS HEAD OF THE B PILLAR, GETS CRUSHED BETWEEN THE TWO CARS, GETS RAN OVER BY HIS OWN REAR WHEEL, THEN GETS DRAGGED UP THE ROAD! I WONDER WHAT NCAP WOULD RATE THAT??

Probably 10 stars! Because that's a pretty wicked awesome way to die. That's how the rating works, right?

God, I can't imagine being a cop or an ambulance guy at the scene of a bad crash in those old buckets. The gore must have been horrific.
timon924 1 year ago
@timon924 it was timon. I used to work for a photographer back in the mid 80's who worked for the Las Vegas police dept in the late fifties, early sixtes. That was his job to take pics of accidents. One day he showed me his pics of head-ons, people falling asleep at the wheel, etc. Be grateful for seatbelts, airbags. They were gross.

There are three big factors to consider. If these cars had these fautres, the tests would not be near as chaotic.
1. Seat belts (lap AND shoulder).
2.Better Door Locks.
3.Airbags
classicautofan1 1 year ago
@classicautofan1 you don't even need airbags...on your list I think head restraints should replace airbags as one of the three key safety features these cars lack...
DamnStraightM35A2 1 year ago
Even if those cars had airbags, they would be useless as they would deploy into empty space because the passenger would have fallen out of the car.

This just proves "real steel" isn't as safe as people think. Cars nowadays are MUCH SAFER.
TheSeaPeopleandMe 1 year ago
@TheSeaPeopleandMe And cars of 2050 will be safer than today's cars and people will say the same for their. Is the evolution of safety. Try to compare a 1915 car with a 1955 car. Their safety evolved too.

Do335D 1 year ago
@Do335D True, another reason they didn't put in seatbelts until the late 50's or early 60's was because, your going to love this, "It implied that their cars were not safe" But I think Ford started to in the mid-50's, lap belts.

These a great safety features.
One is the ejector system; it ejects you clear of the car.
The other is the sense knocker; if you crash, it had to be because you were being stupid, so the car will knock some sense back into you.
(Just in case, I'm just joking.)
Watcher3223 1 year ago
Maybe this is why people drove with more attention to the road back then.
Could you imagine texting in those cars?
However, there is not one car on the road today that had the classic design as any in the 60's.

the faggots are those who drive oversized cars because they don't feel safe to face the road with same cars as the rest.
Stupid are those who sponsor BP like you! with your faggot monsters like the H2 and H3 thats right real homo's drive those cars here in europe (not offending the homo's)

@corvetteboy10 H2 and H3 are Dinosaurs and time isn't on theyr side, in fact they are waiting to get extingted.
Who loves box shaped cars anyway?
Sponsor of PB are those who drive oversized things.
Chevy Impala is oversized in world terms oversized body oversized engine....
Toyota Prius is not a little car, the Smart car is
In fact you guys are jealous at toyota for theyr avangarde tecnology that recycles brake energy in electric torque to use less fuell

@215alessio ok ok here we go with the numbers AGAIN 1. how the FUCK are the h2 and h3 hummers fucking dinosaurs?! they are still in production! 2. how the hell is a impala a fucking box shaped car? 3. how the hell did u arrive at the concept of if u drive a big car u support bp? 4. a toyota prius, yaris, and corolla are fucking SMALL cars and i dont think i wanna be in a toyota when the gas pettle sticks
corvetteboy10 1 year ago
@215alessio well, your prius, has innovative technology. but still. it has the worst gasoline engine ever made. underpowered and if it wasnt for the electric engine, it would be one of the least furl efficient cars in the history. on the highway, the fuel consumption goes at more than 7 litres /100Km. my "oversized" 09 dodge challenger SRT 6.1 uses 10 litres on the highway per 100 km. it has a much better system that makes it run on only the necessary cilinders. and on full 8 if needed.
machone7I 1 year ago
@215alessio you would be surprised on how much people like box shaped cars, and how much people would like to spend gas well rather than looking idiotic in a hideous looking car wich's interior falls out in pieces.
new impalas look like shit because actual GM designers are on heroin while they say theyre inspired, but old impalas look better than anything you could think of. by the way, if something disappears from the earth, its called to be extinct, not extingted.
machone7I 1 year ago
@machone7I
Well it was the other guy who started it about the Prius, I don't have one
Your Challenger looks way better anyway and it is not a box shape the 10 lit/100 km on the highway are good enough surely for such a big car.
The H2 does in random use 23,0L/100km higway: not specified
Toyota Pruis 3: According to what toyota promisses :
Der Verbrauch (NEFZ) liegt bei 3,9 l/100 km (innerorts: 3,9; außerorts: 3,7 l).
random 3,9 and highway 3,7 L/100km 136 BHP weight 1440kg
