Great find. My father was a Police Sergeant back in the sixties in Lanarkshire Scotland. In his office in the Police Station was a shelf full of old lever arch file binders full of glossy photos of all the local accidents taken in crystal clear black and white .These files would go back some twenty plus years so you can imagine the selection of vehicles in them. As a youngster I would sit and pore over these transfixed by the clarity and subject matter . I've often thought of them and the fact that they will have all been long destroyed and that ,just as these, they would have been fascinating to look at again. I shall now Google Mr Odermatt.........

Impressive photos but that Merc has made me feel a little nauseous. Having said that I keep going back and looking at it!

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

they must have been going some to get a stacklight to fold up like that, ive not even seen one that bad after the factory pre-production testing where they fire them at solid blocks of concrete at silly speeds.

Don't mind seeing old crash pics, but that Mercedes just feels a bit wrong, as nobody could have survived that.

is the one in the last two pictures a Simca? or NSU? I can't help feeling it has a very apt plate on it. And that the nose under the railings (which worked well!) but the bonnet being up doesn't correspond...

Mercedes pictures removed. I'm sure the comments on the thread will make those that didn't see the pictures think they were horrifically gory or something: they weren't. The pictures are linked below, you have a choice to look, but now there's also a choice not to. Mercedes vs lamppost pic 1.Mercedes vs lamppost pic 2
