Thought this was pretty cool- 1950 Chevy rollover test

[wrecker388]

This is from Hemmings from around this most recent Christmas. It's a video ad from 1950 showcasing the build, structure, and strength of the new Fisher body Chevrolets I though it was a pretty interesting watch. Kinda interesting to see how different the market was back then. They wanted as much visibility as possible. I can't see out of the windows of nearly every late model sedan, truck, or SUV I've ever sat in.

Man, being able to actually see OUT of the car might tend to distract you from your smartphone or the nav-app on the dash, or the rearview-cam display.

Lol Bill. I had the second oldest vehicle of anyone at my school. Needless to say my 1990 Chevy Astro doesn't have too much in the way of Sat-Nav or rear view cameras. You can't dare be distracted from it while driving. She seems to be pretty overdue for an alignment. She tends to walk all over the road if you don't use both hands.  Needless to say she's taught me how to drive! Can't say that for many others of my generation.

Yep - the Chevy's body held up.

If there were anybody inside it, however... remember those old UCLA-ITTE crash tests?
