Does the IIHS have a an Indiana Jones style warehouse where they keep 30 year old forgettable vehicles like the Blazer in storage for just this special occasion?

From IIHS press release (https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/iihs-crashworthiness-tests-...):

As shown in the crash video, this caused the nodding joint of the dummy’s upper neck to break, and the head was detached from the body. Although this isn’t likely to happen to a human driver, it illustrates the extreme forces the dummy absorbed.
