I guess 'classic' should be defined. For me, a W123 Mercedes is already a classic, yet it is still modern enough to be used as a daily driver. It has:
*Crumple zones
*Seatbelts
*Halogen headlamps
*Foglamps
*Impact absorbing steering column
*Power steering
*Airconditioning
*Four wheel independent suspension
*Four wheel disc brakes
*Modern tires

ABS, EBD, SRS and a whole bunch of other acronyms aren't exactly available on entry level 'modern' cars, too.
