Todays cars are safer, no question.
But if every 60's and 70's car deserves the "deathtrap" name, why take the risk of driving one on occasion?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: William</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Relative to todays cars and what has been learned every '60s-'70s car deserves the &quot;deathtrap&quot; name. Watch the IIHS Malibu vs 59 Chevy test. They also did a 61 Cadillac vs 03 with much the same result. Plenty of others on You Tube.

Nothing wrong with having an old car and driving it on occasion. Driving it daily is asking for trouble.

We didn't have bicycle helmets, rarely wore seat belts, drank full strength milk, ate butter, played outside in the street every day, walked to and from school, didn't have cell phones, no sneakers with built in lights, no GPS, no rear view cameras, no airbags and no internet !!

It's remarkable we survived to be able to be part of the SYC forum today [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]...in fact it's a damn miracle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I agree with Hemicolt. It's a buy at the asking price. You can have fun with it and teach your kid how to drive. You'd pay more than that to hire someone to teach him that.

A guy ought to learn to drive in a car that actually requires driver's skills rather than a car that you just point and press.
