Quote: How do you think a classic car would do against a newer car (2000's) in a crash? Answer it to yourself and then watch this and see if you were right.
I would like to see that test with a car that has 2 normal frame rails not saying the results would differ but would be interesting to see.Those impala type bodies up till aroud 64 has a frame sorta shaped like a X and would naturally fold up with a impact in the corner.

Exactly. That era of Bel-Air was an x frame design that had nothing but sheetmetal hanging out where the doors are.
That isn't to say our moaprs are a bunch better, but an X frame is no where near as good as a perimeter frame.
