Brent said, "There is a real irony in many hobbyist's perception that often things are done to improve safety and/or reliability".
Brent's post is right to a point. All of the things he mentions are correct....for driving in the 1930's! Durango is a tourist town with a heavy dose of bicyclists that are immune to traffic laws. It's a 40+ mile round trip to the bank and I need to not only keep up with traffic, but watch out for stupid drivers. In Colorado, the law says you have to pull over if five or more cars are behind you on mountain passes. If you're driving a stock A to Silverton, it will take all day on a two lane road.
Again, I don't dispute Brent's points. However there is a lot of difference between driving an A in the thirties then it is today.
