IDK about you, but if I were a shop owner, I wouldn't park a vintage car on the side of the road especially on Route 31.

I can't believe she is ok. That pos minivan probably didn't have bags, and if it did, I doubt they deployed. She had to be going at least 40mph+ on impact. Very heavy damage to a car that was not engineered to crumple.

Im pretty sure those cars had Suicide Doors so the damage to the side might be a little bit more extreme looking considering the fact.

poor car. they didn't have suicide doors. you can tell that by looking at the location of the handle on the back door.

What a pretty car. I'm glad she was alright, though.

Shame. It was a pretty car.

The mini van didn't have air bags or they didn't deploy. Heck of an accident. I didn't read the article but I did see surveillance video from the body shop. People have been there daily taking pics! One positive is that it's been good for the body shops business.
