You think?

I'm sure you know you're in a very dangerous car. I'd love to own one. But would not take chances with my life with one.

“I’m sure you know you’re in a very dangerous car. I’d love to own one. But would not take chances with my life with one.”

Shows how ignorant you are. I’d be the last person to die in a crash with most of the newer cars because these are tanks. Also, I keep the car in good mechanical condition and am upgrading continuously (just like the B52s are upgraded).

What I find much more dangerous is people in little new cars zipping around because they feel invincible. So, since I’ve been driving 45 years with all of two fender taps in the whole time, I think I will enjoy myself to the max while you hunker in a fetal position.

By the way, 1959 is not remotely the same car as the 1957.

That YouTube video used one of the X-Frame Chevrolets. DaxtonBrown's Chevy does not use that design. Yes, the people who made that video used one of the most notorious cars to represent the era. Try the same thing with a '61 Imperial (which is banned from Demolition Derby competition as it always wins) or even the '55-'57 chevy lineup, and the results are different.

There were other clunkers of the era. The 1956 Plymouths were known to rust very quickly, for instance.

In any event, when you see a 1957 Chevy used as an every day driver, you don't hit it. You slow down and appreciate it.

How would you have gotten to work back in the '50s?
