When my daughter was a baby I would put her in my 67 Vette and strap the car seat in with the lap belt. When my second daughter came along 15 months later I would strap both of them in the Vette with the lap belt. At this point they were 3 and 4 years old. This was in the late 90's. I basically just drove around town at around 35 mph, but still it was a risk.
Wife and I had a 63' Corvette rag top -- put the baby seat in the rear somewhat between the seats above the storage area ...
