A note from my brother (an auto insurance auditor):

" that front left tire [in the '59] went under and into the drivers footwell. I've seen that alot, resulting in just about every broken boken in the legs including hips....whenever I see a car like that, I'll look it up and the result is usually a fatality...and thats modern day cars where that issue is looked at big time. I've seen front tires touching seats"

Body on frame ≠ safer vehicle.

Driver's left leg is pretty vulnerable even without the wheel intruding into the cabin.

....wait for it, wait for it...
