A photo gallery well worth checking out!

 

Cool pics. The old crashes are pretty gruesome.

 

Holy ****!!! "Fatal car crash 1974" The body is still in the damn car!!!

 

I wonder if you could hear this siren?

 

....nice find

 

Sheriff must have been scratching his head with this one.( crashed citizen 1973) Described as a 1973 VW beetle. Where did the engine go ? Where did all the body panels go ? ( it,s a Citroen )

 

Cool!

 

Thanks 71 DART. Pretty graphic pics. Not much left of this Mercury.

 

Pretty cool.

 

man that's got to hurt when you bend the steering wheel and column with your face.

 

cool pictures... some nasty looking wrecks in there.

 

Those old steering wheels and lack of seat-belt awareness led to a lot of bodily harm!

 

Cool pics!

 

LOL, i remember looking at an late 50's Imperial at a swap meet and my buddy looked at the dash and said "Holy ****, imagine being skewered by all those knobs!" Every knob on the dash came to a sharp point. You'd be hamburger if you hit them.

 

Holy ****:
Its my home county.
Wonder if my Dad is in here anywhere?
Nice link , Familiar faces and familiar sites.
thank you

 

Some of those pics really make you think... Especially the '35/36 Fords, and 66/67 chevelle convertible pic, both of which I have. That '66 convert is ****ed. It's not marked "fatal" but it HAD to be.

Thanks for the link.

 

Great link.

 

Yeah, lots of those pics sure look fatal when you see the angles & relationships of the steering column & seat.

hinge & latch technology sure has come a long ways huh? 80% of those cars have thrown a door clean off.

 

Ouch! Bring a sponge to clean up what's left of the victom!

 

Is it just me or is that old train engine Burl Ives.

 

And I wonder if this wrecker had enough lights??

 

I came from a small Indiana town. You forget how everyone came out for the car wrecks. Almost like entertainment. Mike

 

cool link!

 

thats my home town cool pic's

 

34 Phaeton with two number plates. i wonder why?

 

Fatal MVA, I wonder what the go was here,check out the body work.

 

"34 Phaeton with two number plates. i wonder "

Early on, some States and Provinces of Canada, required the car be registered in their jurisdiction. It wasn't too rare to see cars, especially near border towns, displaying two different plates. I'm not sure how long that went on, but I wouldn't be suprised if it went into the 30's.

 

The pic of the fatal crash in 1974 is weird,the old preist in attendance instead of an ambulance ,but it pales into significance compared with the shot in the second gallery of the guy laying on the ground next to his wrecked dodge and everyone standing around ...

 

Pretty cool . . .

 

I had to stare at this for awhile. It's '49 Merc 4dr.

I'm sure this sight struck fear in to the hearts of criminals across the county:
