Crash test pics from back in the day (dailup warning).

I snagged these about a year ago from a Ferd site I hang out on now & then.
I don't remember the complete story, but the pics are interesting nonetheless.
They were taken by a guy who worked for Ford Motor Co. in the 60's in the crash test dept.
I wish he posted more, they are pretty interesting.








Here's one with a '66 Galaxie vs. what looks like to be a guardrail.

The background of those pics look very much like the current test track Ford uses out in Dearborn MI.  I wonder if it is the same?

Beats me.
Looks like someone did some 'crash testing' through that fence at the top of the hill, though.
