Old Car Accident Photos from the 1900s to 1940s – Vol 2

Volume 2 of our Old car accidents photos series. These old car accidents show automobiles and trucks after the crash in their wrecked, mangled conditions. Cars in the 1900s to 1940s didn’t have the modern safety conveniences like airbags or even seat belts in many cases. These old Car Accident Photos show the not-so-pretty side of automobiling in the early 1900s. Be sure to check out our Old Car Accident Photos Vol 1 for more!
