1980 TV biography about the life of actress and bombshell Jayne Mansfield, portrayed by Loni Anderson and her chest. From her discovery in the '50s to her untimely death in a car accident. She was in a car following a semi truck too close when it braked, sending most of the car under the trailer but the roof was crushed all the way back to the rear windshield, killing Mansfield, another passenger, and the driver of the car. This resulted in transport trailers with significant rear overhang being required by law to have underride guards, which have become known as Mansfield bars.

The truck involved in the fatal collision is never shown, only it's trailer.

The real-life car still exists, though displayed and touted as the "Mansfield Death Car" with no repairs having been done since the accident. It's a 1966 Buick 225, rather than a '63.

This film is rather... schlocky as Loni is shown in numerous revealing outfits and the film does take liberties with how Mansfield's life post-discovery went. Her husband is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in a pre-Terminator role!

An unidentifiable Metro, can't tell if it's Nash, Hudson, or simply a Metropolitan.

 Then this became the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-trailer_truck#Underride_guard law in our country.
