I think that picture was made in 1948. Here's one from 2006.

Great to know that some people really give a chit about their cars.

Chicago science and industry museum had a 53 corvette hood and rear fender on display. Visitors could push a button/lever that would strike a hammer blow and increase a counter to show how strong fiberglass was. Visitors could walk up a few steps and walk/jump on the hood, never any visible damage.
