Which brings up the next point for discussion, how safe are they to drive so much. My 64 didn't even come with seat belts. And I'm sure many here have seen the you tube video of the 50s impala being crash tested into a modern impala. Yes, they were bigger, but they were NOT better in a crash for sure.

I fear any kind of accident mostly because of the lack of head rests.

But yes, I still enjoy driving them as much as possible! I just worry more now than when I was a kid. I guess today comes with age, mine and the car's.
