The pilot exhibiting amazing control brought it down on top of a big Detroit iron convertible

Some of those cars back then were nearly as big as a friggin aircraft carrier!

I doubt that would work out very well today.

A Cessna 172, depending on engine type, max take off weight is about 2200 to 2500 lbs....quite a bit less than the car.

Smart Car vertical crumple probably not tested nor rated for light aircraft.
