Just so sad seeing the devastation to these old beauties/classics! 😞

I worked in the collision repair industry for 45 years. Almost all of these vehicles would have been total losses. Unfortunately way too many of the occupants were probably total losses as well

Quite a collection here! Some of the years are off (‘56 Buick in an accident that says 1930’s) but an interesting compilation. I believe there’s a dead body @7:06, not sure if you meant to show that or not.

Thanks for noticing. I appreciate that. I shouldn't have put this photo into the video, considering it may come as a shock to some people. Also, thanks for your support. I'll try my best to put the correct years in the following videos.
