I haven't clicked on the link yet but is that the video of the 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air vs 2009 Malibu head-on? Because I've seen it enough as it is.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

I'm cynical, my "conspirecy theory" is i reckon it's a "fake", ie a mocked up with alloy panels on the '59. George Barris made cars for the movies with aluminium panels for better accident effects in 50's and '60's so why not do it to make modern cars look safer so more people will buy them?
