One issue I have is the amount of rust that appears to come out of the Bel Air. In both videos, the shot from the Bel Air side, the car absolutely pukes what appears to be a cloud of dust from rust. I can only assume some of that cloud is comes from the frame. Depending on the degree the frame is rusted that could have an effect on the test. If the IIHS wanted to actually run a real test the Bel Air should have been in the condition it would have been in 1959. As it is this is an interesting self congratulatory video, but doesn't really show what the IIHS wants it to show.
