I am working a low speed impact that occurred in 1990, between a Honda Civic (target) and a 1979 Cadillac Fletwood (bullet). The cadillac accelerated from stop over a distance of 10 to 15 ft and hit the right side of the Honda's rear bumper. The passenger in the Honda is now claiming that she can't work another day in her life and is suing for $1,000,000 .
The driver of the Cadillac has since passed on (unrelated to the accident) and his cadillac is no where to be found as can be expected for a 1979 vehicle ... therefore no testing opportunity.

Firstly, I wonder what and if Expert Auto Stats publishes for acceleration rates for a 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood. From my experience, Expert Auto Stats provides very high acceleration data which I have yet to achieve during testing in the field. However, I would still like to view this data as it may be my only source.

Secondly, does anybody out there have access to a functioning 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood that would be interested in running some acceleration tests for me ? Your time and expenses would of course be reimbursed. If so, please contact me and we can come to an agreement on cost that I can pass by my client for approval.

Thirdly, are there other sources of acceleration data out there that may be of assistance to me ?

Anybody assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
