Ericr,
I have not seen this concept in the forum that old cars are indestructible. Maybe this notion is from Non-Model A owners ?
My wife and I walked away from a recent highway crash where we were going 60 MPH and then hit a concrete barrier and stopped in about 1 sec.
The "modern" car saved our lives with the air bags, crumple zone, etc.
The same accident in a Model A would have resulted in death.
