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.

had a 32 high boy street rod - squirrely on the brakes (no portioning vale - got it sideways when some gramps pulled in front of me - fortunately it didnt flip - the rumble seat was a blast - no seatbelts and no highway - thats for sure - it was much akin to a go cart......did you know Brokkville is pressing new steel? - even in your 29

Very cool, my uncle has two T’s and a Model A as well

I’m from a big Ford family (but I was a Pontiac ‘rebel’)

I occasionally helped my buddy do a ground-up restoration of his 1928 Model A Ford Fordor with Briggs body. He did not install seat belts, but he made some other concessions for safety. The original thin steel brake drums flexed and therefore were so ineffective and scary that he replaced them with rigid cast iron drums.
