"My understanding, there is no secure place on the Model A's body to secure seatbelts. For them to be really secure, they must be attached to the frame which seems to be dangerous in a wreck since the body separates from the frame quite easy causing more serious harm being cut into, one half goes with the body while the other half stays with the frame."
The above statement I made in the very first post is not my conclusion nor my opinion but it is what I have read by other concerned A drivers. Considering the safety standards today and the size of vehicles today and the speeds they travel, am I to install airbags too!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is nothing nagging at me when I get in, it's my life, as I said earlier, it's the safety of any passenger that I'd be concerned about. Maybe I should have titled this thread "To have passengers or not to have passengers"
What about the rumble seat......there's a whole other subject. It was more safe back then than it is now. I've already decided, for safety reason, the rumble will never be used for passengers.
