Default YouTube Clip of 1920's Car Crashes

I'm sure these vehicles were junkers at the time of the staged wrecks but it still makes you sick to see them trashed.

the car that drove over the track was a pheaton and the car that was hit was a hardtop....still it goes to show what a locomotive could do!

some people have commented that cars of the '20s and '30s, current public opinion to the contrary, were deathtraps...plate glass windows, heavy steering columns, high center of gravity, etc.

The last scene shows a neat Packard roadster being crashed.....imagine what that car would be worth today.
