four-wheel disc brakes and 17-inch alloy wheels shod with modern radials

The difference is the drivers in 1958 were not busy texting.

No difference, the morons still drive as fast as they would if not
texting, etc.

I don't see a problem with 85 or even 95 under the right conditions.
Daylight, dry, relatively straight road with easy curves, good tires
and suspension.

Some drivers though, do stupid things. Just last week I was doing 95
and was about to pass a slower (about 95) car and he changed lanes
with no signal. I just went around him, but he would have made it
safer with a blink of the turn signal so I knew where he would be when
I got to him.
