After a Takata airbag rearranged my mom’s face, let’s say my airbags are not quite as ‘trigger happy’.
If you’re at a drive in, bench seats proved to be dangerous.
Solid steering shafts #1.
WHAT LINK????
As safety goes I would opt for an 50’s car over a self driving car any time.
When it comes to car crashes over 50 mph the risks are the same with old or new.
How ‘bout a summary of the 13?
Watched the video.
It was so full of inaccuracies and downright misinformation to make it little more than a very poorly executed joke.
Anyone can put up something on YouTube. They don’t need to know what they are talking about.
It was fun seeing some of the old cars, though.

Sorry, not going to watch a 22 minute video just to find out what the old car dangerous features are. Why didn’t you post a summary?

Just as I don’t blame guns for murder, I don’t blame cars for accidents. I lies almost 100% on the operator, not the inanimate object.
I’ve logged 100’s of thousands of miles in ‘57 Chevys, and have only been injured by hitting my head on the hood latch, when the hood is open. (it hurts) Have never been in an accident in one, wonder why that is?
I think a protruding hood ornament is the least of my worries.
Grew up riding outside on the running board of dad’s car (<15mph) and riding in the back of a pickup truck.
And we all used the same ladle when drinking out of the water bucket on a hot day.
Still alive.
We just weren’t morons in those days, unlike this generation who has to be told not to iron clothes while wearing them.
There are plenty of old car dangerous features. But what about a new car with its dangerous features? I’m talking about blind spots the size of a brick wall. Backup cameras are a nice feature these days. They are also necessary to see what you’re going to back into.
Most new cars today are like tanks in that you can only see what’s in front of you.
Didn’t bother reading per FR tradition but gotta wonder if any mention of the fuel tank directly behind the drivers seat (old F100’s) was made. Other than that and a few other exceptions, I’ll take an old vehicle any day, anytime. Though, an upgrade to ABS and 4-wheel disc brakes would be sweet.
“Suicide” knobs on the steering wheel?
