Yes because the old cars used to be so much stronger, safer and better built
At least that's what I used to think u til I saw this

Not many people know but the 59 was an X frame so there is no frame for support in between the wheels except for the center X. Just my opinion but that is apples to oranges. I think that 59 took a good hit to the body and fared well for it.
