'59 Bel Air vs. '09 Malibu Offset Frontal Crash

As far as air bags and the restraints inside the car are concerned, newer cars are better where safety is the primary issue. Where there is a weight difference, I would rather be in the heavier vehicle every time. It is a law of physics, heavier objects retain more momentum for a longer period of time given the same conditions. To prove this all you have to do is look at a car-train collision.
