Vintage cars from the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s are beautiful, but have you ever wondered what happened when they got into accidents? In this video, we've gathered a new collection of old photos that show what it was like when these classic cars crashed. Back in those days, cars didn't have all the safety features we have today, like crumple zones, seat belts, and airbags. In addition, there were few safety barriers on the roads. When people drove those old cars down those old roads, they took their safety into their own hands. These pictures reveal banged-up cars, flipped cars, and cars that ended up wrapped around poles. There are also some unexpected accidents where nothing was hurt but pride.
