I remember reading that abouy half of the people killed in the 50's and 60's were ejected from the car (two of cousins and one of their husbands were killed in an ejection accident).

Daaang!! That was amazing. The rear window didn't break either.
I would like to see today's car do that same test at that speed and see what happens. It looked like it was going pretty fast and straight on. That beam didn't budge at all!

That some crazy stuff. Wonder what the speed was on the '61 bubbletop?

Not to offend anyone but my favorite is the car dragging two dummies after being hit.
