I don't think so.
Data through 2006. But that's beside my point, which was merely that the size to mass correlation in cars has changed drastically in the past 60 years. I have 3 modern cars that weigh in around 4000 lbs each, but they're much smaller than the old cars I saw in the museum. A quick search indicates that the Bel Air has less than a 200 lb advantage over the Malibu in the video, despite carrying a larger footprint and appearing "heftier".
