There was actually quite a bit of frame damage to the Bel Air. The front bumper is practically into the firewall on the driver's side, and the left front corner is about where the middle of the engine bay was, You can't tell me the frame didn't take the majority of the stress there. Hell, the passenger side windshield post was buckled at almost a 45 degree angle. That kind of damage wouldn't happen if all the Malibu hit was sheet metal and suspension.
