Just so sad seeing the devastation to these old beauties/classics! 😞

[@dave1956]

I worked in the collision repair industry for 45 years. Almost all of these vehicles would have been total losses. Unfortunately way too many of the occupants were probably total losses as well

[@bobhoward6676]

In the '70's they would park fresh wrecks in front of the high school for all kids to remember to drive carefully. Or at main & boulevard.

These are some beautiful cars but they were also death traps

[@AdrianWilkinson-e2p]

How did any of us survive the 50’s ?

[@mjg263]

Quite a collection here! Some of the years are off (‘56 Buick in an accident that says 1930’s) but an interesting compilation. I believe there’s a dead body @7:06, not sure if you meant to show that or not.

Thanks for noticing. I appreciate that. I shouldn't have put this photo into the video, considering it may come as a shock to some people. Also, thanks for your support. I'll try my best to put the correct years in the following videos.

I also noticed there were a few listed as happening in years before the certian cars had even existed yet

[@alanlegere6000]

Sterling Hayden was at the wheel.

Those cars were not vintage when they crashed...they were normal cars at that time.😂😂😂

[@keithb9272]

@@dudeepnm And? Even those back then appreciated the style and artistry of these beauties. Motorcars of today, even high end motorcars, have no artistry to them. So people showing sadness for the loss of these beauties is certainly justified.

[@dudeepnm]

Absolutely agree...
My point was that those cars were not vintage when they crashed in may be 60s or 70s

[@keithb9272]

@@dudeepnm No shite! You had laughing faces on your post, telling everyone that you are laughing at the bloke that titled this clip calling them vintage. (And to us viewing it, these are vintage.) Now unless you're a bloody daft wanker, no of that era would think that when these beautiful motorcars were considered vintage back in their day.

Cars were so fine-looking, back then.
