Unfall in Los Angeles, April 1962, mit Austin-Healey Sprite und Plymouth Fury 2-Door Hardtop

Let someone else say that small and light cars are unsafe. In April 1962, this Austin-Healey Sprite took a Plymouth Fury 2-Door Hardtop weighing almost three times as much on the horns (or frog eyes) on the San Bernardino Freeway in Los Angeles. It is said that the young driver of the little roadster suffered nothing more than a scratch on her head.
