A Camary against a 1962 Lincoln. Think about it. The Camary would be bug
juice against a 1962 Lincoln.

I have crashed in one and I am here today because of the cars design.
It impressed even me and I am not easily impressed. That car is really
built with good strength in impact areas. It take more than size to do
well in a crash, it takes design as well and a 62 lincoln had no crash
design to it at all.

Generally, you are correct. However, I've seen many more modern cars
completely severed into two pieces (the rear half in one place and the front
half 50 yards further down the road. Never saw that situation happen back
in the 1960's.
