Me either. And cars of the '70s did have safety features. Try a '74 Grand Safari against the '59 Impala or the '09 Malibu. '70s cars had 5 mph bumpers, padded dashes, side door guard beams (look more like guardrails lol), padded upper door panels, rollover protection in the form of double walled steel, folding hoods, collapsible steering columns, padded steering wheels, headrests, shoulder harnesses. You could even get airbags in '74-'76 "B", "C" and "E" cars. A moot anyways. If you are driving a car from the '60 or '50s and you are really paranoid about getting killed in an accident, then build a rollcage into it, and wear a safety harness, helmet, and HANS device
. Not to take nothing away from new cars, but they aren't everybody's cup of tea, and I can understand why old cars wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea either. I personally don't want to drive one after working on the things all day.
