Also born in 1960. A paramedic right out of high school. 31 years of this can make one numb to trauma. Lived long enough to get to be an old fart. (grand kids) 🚑
In my home town at the Gas station they would put out the worst wrecked cars, but one year they put a wrecked car at our High school because 6 kids died in the car from drinking.
@@ilanamillion8942 And yet it still goes on. Every year at just about every high school a kid or more is going to die from an alcohol related car crash.
@@peterm1826 It's human nature. Lessons get unlearned almost as fast as they get learned. After the Thalidomide disaster, authorities all over the world pledged not to release drugs on the general public until they were fully tested. Now they are forcing them.
@@pcno2832 ..my mother took thalidomide while pregnant with me in 1956. Luckily only once or twice as it wasnt helping with her morning sickness...and lucky for me as it only caused me to be born missing two fingers on my left hand. There were so many born with no arms or legs...or just stumps.
Nothing draws a crowd like a car wreck. Back then people went through windshields pretty easily. Back in the 60s, I remember a woman in our church going face-first into the windshield during an accident. She had over 100 stitches in her face.
All steel tanks. I remember the dashboard was all metal and no seatbelts of course. How we lived through those times is beyond me. No bike helmets, no padded playgrounds, walked to school in all kinds of weather, one car, one bathroom, wow it’s amazing we lived.
Thank you for the video! As mentioned before, there were some 1950's cars that had crashed as well in this video. Interesting how safety belts and air bags have helped people from hitting their heads on the windshields on newer cars and generally provided better protection.
The newer cars are not as safe as the old cars were. The new cars are just plastic, and in an accident they shatter into a billion pieces, and it leaves you with no protection.
I can tell you that, back in 1967 when my Corvair got T-boned by a Buick, the lap belt that I had had installed in the family car with my own money was probably the difference between going through the windshield and getting a mild concussion. My father certainly changed his tune about seat belts after that.
@@miriambucholtz9315 If you had been in one of these newer cars you wouldn't have lived, because the car would have disintegrated into a million pieces.
While seat belts, air bags, and crumple zones have made modern cars fairly safe, if those devices had been available in those old cars, fatalities would have been FAR lower. In some of those crashes, which resulted in slight damage, modern cars would be a complete right-off. I ran off the road in an ice storm in a 2002 Jeep Wrangler, hitting one of the new cable barriers (which probably saved us), at about 40 mph, and they totaled it. The ones where the cars were practically destroyed, modern ones would not even be recognizable as vehicles!
Looks like the car that got sideswiped by a commuter bus at 6:05 is a 1937/38 Willys Coupe. A fairly rare automobile for its day, and one that looked quite a bit like the rarer but better known Graham Sharknose.
If you go to 6:59 you'll see another Willys. This one looks to be a '40. I believe the one with the bus is a '37 because there is no air louvers on lower part of front end.
@@outdoorfuninthesun2393 I would not have been able to identify that particular car as a Willys because it is too banged up. You definitely know quite a lot about those old Willys from that time period.
As noted by another, in the '60s the destroyed cars were virtually on display at whatever gas station or body shop to which they were taken. Crowds gathered around to view and you invariably knew the victims or someone who knew the victims. In retrospect it all seems incredibly ghoulish but that's the way we high schoolers were back then. Oh, and no grief counselors either.
Was still that way in the 70's when I was in grade school a guy was coming back into town drunk, ran off the road in his corvette, flew about 100 feet into a ravine, burst into flames and died in the fire (probably died from impact). That car sat out front at the Chevy dealership for about a week. Still have the picture of the car in my head. Was the dad of a kid in the grade below me.
@@kennyspaulding796 , That kid eating the popsicle could have easily been me, I was a ghoulish little punk that loved the blood, guts, and eyeballs, the more the merrier, lol.
Years ago there was a hardcover book titled "Crash" in my local book-shop. The photos in it were mostly from the 1950s when cars had poor brakes, no seat belts, no crumple zones and no air-bags. They were taken by emergency responders, first at the scene of accidents. The pictures were gory beyond belief. People whose chest was completely crushed sitting behind the wheel of a mangled car, or people who had gone through the windshield and been torn up. All of the people were clearly dead. I doubt whether such a book could even get published today.
There are still books like that to be found, but they either wrap the entire book the same way as a record or CD, or seal it inside a postal-type cardboard box. This would be applied to nude or sexual content as well of course.
In spite of it all even though cars back then were built TUFF!! they still had some humdingers. I wasn't surprised to see how some of the head ons even though bad the cab of the vehicle itself remained intact, in some of them anyway. I sure would of loved to have owned one. Thanks YTT for such great content on your videos.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
And ZERO protection for those inside. Most of the people in these cars were seriously injured or killed by slamming into the steel interiors of these vehicles.
They were not made like battle ships actually,most of these cars had chassis underneat, but the body itself was weak, in an accident the other vehicle would simply slide over the top of the chassis and crush the body as you can see in a lot of the pictures
Unfortunetly, todays cars are more heavy than the old ones, that means that the old cars are crush not because the bad safety features but how light they were compared to todays standards
Thanks for these high quality shots and good music. What i learn, is don´t drive at night, specially in Mass, Boston area to be more specific 😂. Sure, some die in these mishaps !
Great video thanks for sharing. It’s scary to think looking at all these photos and knowing how many people in these accidents wouldn’t have survived and how poorly cars were built back then.
I like your video I haven't seen cars like that since when my dad a couple of them he's been gone for nearly 30 years now I subscribe to the channels ok
As mentioned, there were some from the 50's. Overhaul, was interesting on some the difference of metal then & now. Some You could tell that SPEED was involved.
when my family moved to Illinois in 1966, the house my dad bought had in the backyard a badly wrecked car. It belonged to the previous owners, it was the car the now widowed husbands wife had been out Christmas shopping when a drunk driver hit her head on killed her instantly.
sobering images to say the least. the cracked windshields and twisted metal tell horrific stories. How did those 2 buses run into each other? time and chance meeting along with choice to drink and drive.. young people out in the wee hours enjoying their youth, pushing the limits, not one thought about the next minute. O the humanity! Thanks for the pictures.. maybe they'll save a life..
I’ve been wondering when they introduced the collapsible steering column. Judging by some of these cars with wrecked front ends, it looks like it was quite a while ago.
@@davidyoung8521 - Is that so? Some of those in this video cars were pretty smashed up in the front. Maybe some auto makers did it before it became mandatory. Jeez, I may have owned several cars that could have killed me in a low speed crash.
if you watched the documentary on crash test dummies, it shows how trussed pigs were swung into steering columns. Also test drivers crashing cars until it was decided to use dummies. The data for crash test dummies came from cadavers wrapped in plastic. Each dummy cost about $100K, much more than the car that is wrecked. The cost probably reflects how the cadaver data was obtained. They probably can’t do that now.
I believe it has the same entertainment value as the Roman gladiator performances. People enjoy seeing mangled bodies. If they are still alive.. That's a bonus!
These were the days when seat belts were considered unsafe. Yes, it was better to be ejected through the windshield than to be trapped in a burning car. Driver would be impaled on steering column. No collapsible steering column in the good old days.
@@harrybriscoe7948 If the not well secured back seat came forward... then sure enough, both a front person and a rear person could be Shish-ka-bobbed, probably. Others broke and tore up their neck being thrown through the windshield, then smashed on the pavement or tree.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 For many the real damage was when they went through the windshield only half way and when the forward momentum was over their own weight pulled them back inside, pulling the glass back in with them and in effect reducing the size of the hole in the glass they`d just made. A study was done and that helped contribute to mandatory seatbelts.
Interesting how the onlookers were allowed to get so up close and personal to these wrecks. Also....... the lack of EMS. Just cops and regular people hauling the victims out of the cars. No backboards, No cervical braces. Think about how many people have been saved from paralysis by modern rescue tech.
Back in the old days (in Canada at least in guessing the US too) ambulances were a privately owned service. Usually they were owned by a funeral home. Pretty messed up lol. Guaranteed profit one way or another
The infamous company 'Highway Safety Films' with the incredibly gruesome films 'Signal 30', 'Mechanized Death', 'Highways of Agony', and 'Wheels of Tragedy'. Unbelievable to watch today. All right here on UA-cam. If you think those old cars were safe, watch those movies and wise up. I'm a fan of the old iron, but safer they were NOT.

While stationed in IL, the base parked a wrecked car for all to see. Four airmen in a Camaro, were hit broadside on the passenger side, by an Amtrak train doing 90mph. The passenger door was pushed flush with the drivers door.
Find it ODD that it seem's like cars can *ALWAYS* find the 'ONLY' Pole or Tree within 50 Yards to .....HIT ? Saw one one time up by Chico, California a car hit the only tree in a field within 200 feet (on either side) but plowed into !
One-car accidents incurred while driving the equivalent of a "tank" were often not so bad (though many obviously were) - but if you had the misfortune of hitting another tank - THAT could be a really bad deal! But some of these photos likely show accidents with fatalities, as the damage is so horrific!
Being in a colliding 'tank' wasn't good: Your body would keep moving and smash and smear on the dash and other interior metal, and or be flung through the windshield to further crack skulls and moosh brains and legs on pavement, etc.
hi Yesterday and today's Tribute and hi everyone else let's see pictures of car accidents between the 30's and 40's I see pictures of 50's and 60's car's i did fined the car accidents pictures to be totally smashing lol :-D yes bad pun intended :-D well have good day you at Yesterday and today's Tribute and everyone else have good day to :-)
It would be interesting to know how these accidents happened and what the aftermath was. No doubt there were fatalities in a number of these accidents. Either that or miracles.
nearly all of those accidents were fatal fenders in the 30s to 50s were 1/8 inch steel a wreck with enough interta to bent that smashed your skull on the solid steel "dashboard"
Habian en las fotos algunos carros de los 50...un Mercury, un Nash, un patrulla Ford en la fito del camion hundido, un Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, y lo que se nota es que a los curiosos les gusta posar para la foto....
Wow!..and they sure don't build em' like that no more,my great grandfather had one of those old cars that had a spare tire on the rear and it was a convertible with a fold down rumble seat..my mom told us many years ago that car was tough as nails and heavy as heck she was just a young kid back then and of course the many years have since passed then and they are gone but have old faded black n white pictures of that era and them..seems unreal but true..a new car of today wouldn't stand a chance against one of those old behemoth's.
I remember in boot camp they showed us a bunch of gory movies to show what could happen if you didn't drive safely. Nobody wants to be told what they have to do. But the seatbelt law saves lives.
Videos get deleted when most of the pics were already shown in other videos or they were taken from photo websites without acknowledgement of the website.
I remember a car wreck from my youngsterhood that my Mom and I passed not long after it happened... In an effort to make cars look lower most all car makers except Lincoln, Cadillac, Packard, Chrysler and Imperial put 14" tires on them, which did little for their aesthetics but made them far easier to lose control and even role over. Some lady had overturned her 1959 Buick LeSabre. Picture a '59 Buick with its slanty headlights. They looked so odd upside down. It was a hardtop with no "B" posts and really puny A & C posts so the roof caved-in when it met to the asphalt. No, the lady didn't walk away.
Frequently, it was. The driver would either crush his chest on the steering wheel before hitting the windshield, while the passenger pretty much had a straight shot through the windshield.
Born in 1960 it was b&w era then became color, I'm nostalgic looking at these photos, I love the music, time goes by in leaps, enjoy your time.🙏

It would be interesting to know how these accidents happened and what the aftermath was. No doubt there were fatalities in a number of these accidents. Either that or miracles.
nearly all of those accidents were fatal
fenders in the 30s to 50s were 1/8 inch steel
a wreck with enough interta to bent that smashed your skull on the solid steel "dashboard"
1:42 ow, right in the eye !
4:50 that steering wheel REALLY hurt !
It's called a headlight.
Es. Genial. Este. Archivo.
A few nice cars you won't see at the next Cars & Coffee event.
I wish I could go back in time and show these auto makers this carnage they were about to create. And stop them.
Wet roads, slick tires.
Habian en las fotos algunos carros de los 50...un Mercury, un Nash, un patrulla Ford en la fito del camion hundido, un Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, y lo que se nota es que a los curiosos les gusta posar para la foto....
Back when cars were designed to focus all the energy of an impact into the passenger compartment and steering columns were solid steel.
and befor seat belts ,or at least nobody used them if fitted
Wow!..and they sure don't build em' like that no more,my great grandfather had one of those old cars that had a spare tire on the rear and it was a convertible with a fold down rumble seat..my mom told us many years ago that car was tough as nails and heavy as heck she was just a young kid back then and of course the many years have since passed then and they are gone but have old faded black n white pictures of that era and them..seems unreal but true..a new car of today wouldn't stand a chance against one of those old behemoth's.
There were not many street lights back then. The light from the flash is the first time some of them see the wreck..
I remember in boot camp they showed us a bunch of gory movies to show what could happen if you didn't drive safely. Nobody wants to be told what they have to do. But the seatbelt law saves lives.
Some may not know, there were no left or right turn lanes,Some drivers would jump the light to make a left turn
Maybe it's true about what they say about cars now compared to back then they do a to help people survive accidents more now.
From back in the day when smoking was good for the digestion and you always had one more drink “for the road.”
Those old cars were very cool-looking death traps.
Japanese cars before the 90s were even worse death traps, and were cramped, ugly, and slow as well.
@@michaelbenardo5695 False. Japanese cars had to meet Federal standards just like the domestic cars.
This is why you don't drive with your face buried in your mobile device.
Videos get deleted when most of the pics were already shown in other videos or they were taken from photo websites without acknowledgement of the website.
I remember a car wreck from my youngsterhood that my Mom and I passed not long after it happened... In an effort to make cars look lower most all car makers except Lincoln, Cadillac, Packard, Chrysler and Imperial put 14" tires on them, which did little for their aesthetics but made them far easier to lose control and even role over. Some lady had overturned her 1959 Buick LeSabre. Picture a '59 Buick with its slanty headlights. They looked so odd upside down. It was a hardtop with no "B" posts and really puny A & C posts so the roof caved-in when it met to the asphalt. No, the lady didn't walk away.
how sad is that
Buick also ignored the trend to 14 inch wheels.
How anybody can roll a 59 Buick is hard to understand. That was a low, wide, heavy car.
Interesting that people posed with the wrecks, in the photo for posterity ?
Slick road, plus slick tires, plus slick drivers = big oops.
And I bet that not one driver got out with a gun to make the other driver pay for his mistake.
And I bet also that whoever took the pictures didn’t harass the police like the idiots today
It happened in Texas a lot.
10.23. never seen a phone pole in the glovebox. took an impact on that old metal.
A lot in Boston and other Massachusetts towns !!!
I see a lot of crack windshields where the driver's head hit the windshield. With no seat belts that must have been every direct collision.
Frequently, it was. The driver would either crush his chest on the steering wheel before hitting the windshield, while the passenger pretty much had a straight shot through the windshield.
4:03 "Who needs a torch to chop a top?"
@ 5:10 John Candy drove a tow truck??
0:33 Packard hood mascot on a Cadillac?
Did anyone notice how well dressed most people are?
And thin. No fast food crap to eat.
No fatties, either!
Vdd. Até hj morre pessoas em acidente de carro. Que triste....😢

Purse lying on the ground near the passenger door is pretty sad. 2:38
The woman's left eye is in bad shape. 3:44
