That post made me think of how bad a frontal crash would have to be to rip the floor mounted seat belt anchors out of a C2 so they hang from the safety cables. Somehow I think one would have long since been impaled on the steering column (pre-67) or head smashed into the steering wheel before those anchors broke the floor glass.
We're all nuts driving these things. They're death traps. I'm the biggest nut of all. At least most of you guys don't seem to crack yours up on a regualr basis

Well, I've never been involved in a wreck as a driver and I'm almost 60 years old. I've had a couple back bumper dinging episodes but that's it. Personally - I'm more worried about the housewife in her 5500 lb Tahoe, with 2 screaming kids in the back, and talking on a cellphone. Sends cold chills up and down my spine whenever I'm out in one of my old cars.

If you click on the cnbc site in the original post, don't miss also visiting one of the stories in the right-side column, "The 10 most iconic vehicles in GM history".
Hard to choose just 10, but the author does throw us a couple of surprises.
