I know. Too bad they didn't use an early-'60s Chrysler Imperial. Those cars were built so strong that they were banned from demolition derbies.

God, couldn't they have used something else? At least it was a four-door, but still... One of my favorite cars!

Those 1960s vehicles were death traps. Bodies would collapse, no seat belts, no head rests, seat backs would break, non collapsing steering wheel of hard Bakelite, steel dash boards.

no but you got ejected from the car so if the gas tank went up you were safe

The ejection wouldn't hurt you that's true. But that landing could be a death sentence!

Maybe I am missing something but being thrown through a glass windshield isn't the stuff of good healthy living. It really does hurt, a lot.
