Are deaths per passenger-mile in 60-year-old cars still 5x greater than deaths per passenger-mile in modern cars?



I assume you're trying to call attention to confounding factors like improved medical care. That's really tough to answer, because 60-year-old cars today aren't driven the way they were when they were new, and they're benefitting from modern tires and brake materials.

I'm sure there are analyses out there of the probability of serious injury or death in various crash scenarios in various types of cars.
