If a 2017 Cadillac had a head-on collision with a 1956/57/58/59/60/61or '62 Cadillac, can you picture the result?

Good point, Cleverman; now, how about the condition of the vehicles themselves?

Buy a replacement for the survivor.

oivey.

oivey.

Reminds me of the times (2 times...) wherein I was rear-ended by the average little car back when I was driving a very late 70's 450SE (European model).

I was stopped at a yield sign with no merge area in one case; stopped at a stop sign in the other.

Totaled both cars that hit me - entire front ends were caved in and not drivable.

Sum total of damage to my car -- I had a scratch on the tailpipe.

They survived to presumably get new cars.

Now, that's interesting input for the conversation I had hoped to initiate.

I think heaps of moving metal are better than heaps of some metal and a whole lotta plastics and fiberglass.

Compared to today's cars, that 450SE was an armor plated tank...

Except I'm pretty sure that when I was driving the SE with the VR tires on it I could get around on the beltway just a shade faster....

Not if the road was blocked

All too true on the Beltway..........

I dunno - I'm pretty sure I remember a Korean-American (?) man getting hold of a tank, some years ago, who went storming down a freeway (in L.A. or???) rolling right over anythg in his way, stopped by a cement-divider he almost made it over. Right?

Pretty sure that Volvo announced it was going to go 100% electric but I've forgotten what the date was that was announced.
