Video: Head On - 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air versus 2009 Chevy Malibu


The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) celebrated its 50th anniversary the same way we all celebrate our major milestones: by smashing up a classic car and putting footage of it on the Internet.

They performed a crash test of a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu to show the advances made in auto safety in the last fifty years—thanks in large part to the IIHS.

Incidentally, if you feel like watching newer cars get smashed up a bit, or are just curious how your own vehicle would fare in a crash, check out the Consumer Reports crash test video player, which can provide minutes upon minutes of fiberglass-smashing edutainment.
