For overall safety, you'd want to drive a modern mid-sized or compact car w/ anti-lock brakes, stability control, engineered crumple zones, full airbags, three-point belts, padded interior, head rests, etc.
Much safer than the 66 Galaxy. I don't think the Galaxy even had a collapsing steering column.

Interior volume does not make a big car. . .just look at the Smart (seats 4).
fwiw:
Prius Length x Width; 175x67.9"
1966 Ford Galaxy: 210x79
On a figure-eight track, which car would you want to be driving?
