This is a 1950s Chevy that was used during a test crash at the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. It’s on display in their building.
Remember the big front engine hoods and grills?
It wasn’t the car we test crashed while we were here, that was a 2010 Chevy Malibu. But I thought this old tank of a car was interesting.
Here’s the inside of it. Notice the steering wheel would have been pushed right into the driver’s face and chest.
Remember these big old steering wheels?
I’ll write more about our experience at the IIHS soon. It’s pretty emotional, in a good and also a sad way.
Meanwhile, stay safe!
