Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

Yeah unattended acceleration… Just swell, buzzed out senior citizens raining terror on communities from coast to coast. Fortunately the powers to be have now almost figured out cars don’t suddenly surge forward or backward by themselves as Audi manufactured vehicles were once believed to be capable of, and now lay blame on the lame brain driving…

One exception, and it’s one of ours: a 58 Fury; Christine.

This wreck reminds me of trips to junk yards back in the early seventies seeing death cars all stove-in. No amount of air bags, and seat belts could have protected anyone on the passenger side of that Pontiac from death, and probably driver’s side occupants would have not fared too well also. Body by Fisher, or any other makes from pre safety standards are really death traps in side impacts, and not much better head on. Probably any of these old heaps we covert would not be able to earn one star in a crash test.
