For sure, but maybe that even had a bit more ‘give’ than early steel body-on-frame designs... but no seatbelts, and NO safety glass yet, that wasn’t until late 40s I believe- ouch!

Yes. We own a 29 Model A Ford sedan. I’ve purchased seat belts (not installed yet) and am refusing to ride in it without turn signals and extra rear stop lights added. And never on a freeway.

Don't forget the solid steering column aimed at your heart with a steering wheel likely to collapse if you happen to try to use it to brace yourself.
