Still...  Its a 59!  They could have done two 1984 models instead

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

So, should they build a brand new 1959 for the test?  Accelerate age a 2009 to 59 condition in a salt chamber? Or argue that today's cars are less safe? 

It was probably intended as a cool video, not a proof of a theorem.

The video was meant to compare relative safety of two different vehicles.  If one is a rusted out hulk and the other in new condition, the results are going to be meaningless, unless, of course, it's just a publicity gimmick.  A far better test would have been two 59's head- on, then two Malibu's.
