The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Most-asked question about your Model A?

I have my hubs set up so I can run stock wheels or my aluminum hot rod wheels but run the aluminum ones for everything but parades.
Consequently the car has a hot rod look on the outside so obviously the first question is, "How fast"?
I refer them to the dash plaque from the SCTA that says, 153.7 mph. (Not "A" engine)
(Actually the car went 163.9 with a different body)
(It would do 93 with the "B" engine, the current 2 door body and geared for hill climbing.)
Anyway, then the conversation starts and sometimes it develops to a long lasting friendship. You meet some of the neatest people in supermarket parking lots.
