Would you daily drive an early A?

I plan to drive my 65 Dart once I finish it. I read a recent research study (maybe reported in Automobile magazine) that said accident statistics show that you are much more likely to be injured or killed in a smaller weight car. It said the typical crash test of running into a solid barrier is not representative of the real world where two vehicles collide. The barrier test is probably intended to make each car as safe as it can be, but hard to make a small car safe among SUV's, trucks, and the now mega "minivans". I am most afraid of side collisions, and I think those are the biggest killers in the real world. Few modern cars protect you well from that. For that, I feel safest in my C-body.
