IIHS At 50: 1959 Bel Aire Vs. 2009 Malibu
We've come a looong way since 1959 with auto safety.
This shocking video shows what happens when a 1959 Bel Aire crashes into a 2009 Malibu at 40mph, offset. The Bel Aire weighs about 400lbs more than the Malibu, but it gets seriously destroyed.
A shout out to quality engineers!
