Yikes...is that a telephone pole I see growing out of the driver's seat? Ya gotta remember that the frame on those things was nothing but a big "X", with no side rails. Nothing but a little sheet metal to stop a phone pole slicing through one of those things 'til the pole hits the intersection of that 'X'! UGLY!! And YEAH, you need to hang-on to the coupe!!! DD

Chevy kept that crappy X-frame longer than they should have. It sort of died with the 348 V8 for the most part anyway.

X died after '64 model yr........409 stormed the scene in late '61......we made 100% of
the 348's and 409's at Tonawanda Engine Plant near Buffalo , N.Y. I'm proud to say in those years Tonawanda was the worlds largest engine plant. We clipped Fiat by 10,000
per month.

DD, thanks for Enlarging the pic...

That is one nasty dent. The driver must have been skidding sideways
at about a 100 MPH to tear that big ol' C2$^y in half like that.
