Default All Original Is Unsafe

In my opinion, it is not safe to drive an all original Model "A" and "AA." As a minimum, a driving car / truck must have:
> A 2nd taillight;
> LED taillights or much brighter incandescent taillight bulbs;
> An outside mirror on both sides of the vehicle;
> Turn signals;
> Safety glass in every window;
> A cast aluminum or 6-blade plastic cooling fan;
> Cast iron front brake drums;
> Complete set of reproduction wiring.
Having the experiences of having driven my Model A's many thousands of miles since 1962, there is no way I can be convinced otherwise. Original Model "A" & "AA" vehicles are for trailering to shows only, and not for driving in modern traffic for any reason.
