Okay fine, maybe it’s only 984 pictures, but sometimes in life you need to massage numbers up or down to suit your needs. This is my time to do so. Regardless, 984 pictures is still a lot of old car wreck pictures to thumb through, so you will want to grab a nice iced mocha latte or something for this little morbid afternoon journey. I’ve gone through quite a few of these and I didn’t see any grotesque stuff (read: blood, guts, etc), but look at your own risk just in case I overlooked it.
This is the link to the 984 car accident picture slide show. (Best way to view them)
The thing that amazes me the most about them, is the picture quality. The vast majority of these images are from between 1925 and 1955, and the clarity of the images is far better than anything that I could do right now. Then again, I am photographically illiterate. Anywho, enjoy the nearly one thousand pictures of old car wrecks, accidents, or whatever you prefer to call them.
This is if you don’t like slide shows and would rather click individual car accident pictures.

Well, you know, the very first image has two quite clear indications of windshield impact from the inside. Driver and passenger have at least pretty bad headaches.
