Crash Test Between 2009 Malibu and 1959 Bel Air

Ever wondered how safe is your car? Well it’s never about how heavy it is or how big it is. A crash test was made in 2009 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety between a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevy Malibu.  The Malibu here is the much lighter car, but even with that, it still absorbed the impact with its crumple zone much better that the Bel Air which had its front end smash right into the driver. That also shows us how much car safety has improved over 50 years.
