The way this video starts, it makes you wonder if Plymouth back in the day was some part of a government conspiracy or just a car company, with the way they compare things to “trial by torture”. Some of what they mentioned as far as getting the truth of out people or things is still used today, whether people want to admit it or not. It was creative however the way it was compared to finding out things from cars. This video taken sometime during the 1930’s shows to what lengths Plymouth would go to test their cars and to show what the cars can handle. The “crash dummies” back then were no dummies at all. They were actual stunt drivers and engineers who worked on the cars themselves. To me the craziest part of the video is the way actual live drivers used to test the car by dam near killing themselves. It is a very interesting video if you can get past the creepy way it starts. Watch the clip after the jump.
