Can you point us to the source of your statement?
The guy that prepped the car did an interview on one of the automotive shows. So many folks were contacting them about the '59 car not having an engine, transmission, or radiator in it, and wondering how the test was not done on an equal basis. With a COMPLETE car, as opposed to a stripped out shell. A lot of other things were done, one of which is they took all the bolts out that held the seat to the floor so it would instantly pop out of place. Many more little things were done, as well.
The articles I read stated the complete opposite. That the car was in running condition. What I read was to dispel those rumors. But I don't believe any of the pieces I read had pictures of the crashed vehicle. Do you know where to find this interview I am curious and would like to watch or read about it.
