In the real accident, the Volkswagen guy died 3 days latter in the hospital, the guy in the Malibu burned one of his fingers on his cigarette and was a hour late for work !
Not bad for a car from the 30s.. well done Hit.. uh I mean VW
The result was, someone bought the VW and pieced it back together and still drives it to classic car shows. The Malibu classic was used to make an LS 454 clone and sold to an unsuspecting buyer.
1971 vw beetles came with seatbelts yet the crash test dummy wasn't wearing it
I really don't care as much about safety. I'm more into going out in style
Herbie actually held up a lot better than I expected him too, especially for a big car like a Malibu hitting it. That driver would've been seriously injured if not killed though.
back when the Malibu was something special
This test seems designed to destroy the Beetle, except that the Beetle didn't get as destroyed as you might expect.
I saw it all. That clown in the Chevy ran a stop sign.
Damn, these old films are so cool. This could play on a loop in any art gallery in NY or Boston and people would love it.
In 1975 I was a passenger in a brand new VW super beetle wearing seatbelts, when stopped to turn left we were creamed "rear ended" by an older Buick land yacht cruising around 30 mph. Our engine ended up in rear seat area, front seat backs were broken and the rails ripped off the floor. We were launched around forty feet and ended up in someone's garden.
They start crashing a
This Beetle has a '72 or later trunk lid with 4 groups of ventilation slots. '71s had 2 groups. I had a '71 Super Beetle.
Cars had shoulder and lap belts then, which were not used in this test. I wonder why? I survived a freeway rollover crash in my Beetle in 1978 because I was one of the very fews people who voluntarily wore my seatbelt back then.

Just do what the Dummie does in the bettle, he said Oy! I'm getting hit in me left side! best switch seats cause this is gonna bloody hurt!
This video is from 1978 or later, see the big Bronco, debuted in 1978.
My 72 Chevelle Malibu took a hit to the rear quarter panel. the other car had major front end damage while I was still able to drive my car back home.
That B-pillar folded like a Popsicle stick
Hit the Volkswagen in the driver door with the heavier car...great test
Where did the headrests go in the Malibu? I had one and they were standard equipment.
