Something I have been saying since owning my first model A. Safety???, the gas tank is in your lap and the ignition source (battery) is under your feet. What could possibly go wrong in an accident??. IMO the best way to make your Model A "safe" is drive defensively and always be ultra-aware of your surroundings at all times because the ONLY way to be safe in a Model A is to not get into an accident in the first place.
