So funny! The plot calls for this car hitting a tree at 60mph causing 2 fatalities.
But it's a new car so they can't afford to really wreck it.

The producers put on a dented hood and skewed it on its hinges, then painted over the front fender and headlight to make it look banged up.

Here's a shot of it at 15:01. [Image: dodge56fauxwreck.jpg]

They probably used water-based paint.
That way, after filming they could put the proper hood back on, spray it down with a garden hose and, voila -- it's all shiny new again!

sidebar: @6:45 Dan Mathews sez: “...they’d be alive right now if they had safety belts.” Safety belts WERE available as options as far back as 1949 (Nash). Ford started offering them in 1955. The first use of seat belts as standard equipment came 2 years after Broddy's prescient comment (Saab 1958).
