when i was eight  years old, on our way to grandmas house
someone pulled out in front of
my dads 64 plymouth wagon, he was going about 70mph.
mom, dad and seven kids were in this car.
mom, broken leg, dad of course not wearing seat belt got 78
stitches to the head, all others minor injuries.
i was sleeping in the back with the luggage.
i understand the improvements in crumple zones, but i feel much
safer in my 65 satellite than my mini-van.

on another note, the car my dad had when i turned 16 was a 70 monaco
with what else a 440, blew my friends dads 454 caprice away in the quater
the same day.
 
anyway i guess i'll always have a soft spot for mopar wagons.

1st off, let me say I like your idea, but something seems wrong. Your wife 
feels unsafe in a vert with the baby, but safe in an old car with baby? I 
guess I just don't undersand that. I mean, crumple zones are some of the 
biggest saftey features ever. Yes, that old 60's Mopar will have less damage 
in a wreck, but not the people inside. Then you add in air bags and anti 
lock brakes.....

Be sure to add anchors in the back seat for the baby seat any way you go.
