You are correct by the heightened risk. The car does thankfully have 3 point harnesses in the front at least. And a dual master cylinder (fun tip rambler was the first company to come out with a dual master cylinder in I think 1963. As well as having seat belts standard before it was made mandatory in either 68 or 69 off the top of my head)
Any way, the best way to prevent heightened risk is sensible driving. I drove through a dozen winter storms last year in my crappy 20 year old civic, some with white out conditions, with 4 bald tires. Brand new jeeps and suburbans with who knows how many fancy airbags and traction control and abs systems passing me. 2 miles down the road they are upside down in a ditch.
Driving sensibly in my rambler, I will be twice as safe than some idiot cruising down the road texting and eating breakfast in a brand new car.
As a classic car enthusiast I do realize the safety hazards but I do It anyways because I love it. Motorcyclists take an even larger risk but they still do it because they love it
