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.
