Well, looks like the taillights are in great shape!
Maybe a great driver-side door too...lol

I do not think there was a engine or trans in the 59 ?

ouch...

That is crazy! Loos like it hit the pole hard enough to sling parts of the car along way from the accident scene.

I used to work on Glenway Ave. in Cincy. Not exactly the place to driving at high speed...............

Doesnt matter the steering col. hit him in the face.......

Nothing left of the camaro but the taillights and trunk lid, maybe the driver door.

I've never seen a stock '59 Impala eject clouds powdered rust and broken zip ties from the chassis before. I think that car was a ringer.

[Kokamo]

Am I seeing this right? The telephone pole is roughly in the center of the car....behind the front seats??? wow......

[PT Sportwagon]

so much for a "safe" new car. luckily the guy didn't hit it 2 feet to the left. you would have had to use a spatula to clean the driver off the pole.

Yes there was. It was a fully equipped Impala.
