Basically, newer cars go faster than older cars which increases the likeliness of accidents occuring. Newer cars have more airbags than older cars. And some older cars do not have them at all. Older cars may not have features such as crumple zones which protect the front of the car better. Seatbelts is also an issue, older cars may just have lap belts, or none at all. Hope this helps a bit. x

How are the old cars different from the new ones?

Old cars, although very cool, were not nearly as safe as they are today. Old cars up to the mid 1980's were carbureted, new cars are fuel injected. Many of the old cars didn't come with seat belts, now it is required. New cars have newer technology, and better features than old cars. Old cars came fast stock, new cars come slower for safety. Old cars were built for power, and they weren't designed to hold back emissions. New cars have to pass emissions from the factory. Essentailly, old cars were round, large, and sucked down gas (5 MPG). New cars are square, small, and use like 40 MPH.
