Ford marketed the model a as a car 'to meet todays (1927) demand for speed and comfort'...With modification it still does,90 years later..

I could not have said this better myself. I want my car to appear stock in every way but make minor modifications to keep up with modern 2 lane roads that are posted at 60mph. The modifications alone will not help if your steering, brakes, suspension, and front end are worn out. I share your same desire in your comment about the Convoy.
