Mine is stock and I on a long trip of which I do plenty I will cruise at 55 mph for hours on end It would go faster and ocassionally on a downhill will go over 60mph . Of course as in any car you drive to the conditions. I would agree with the other posters on here who say if you car is not stable at these speeds then somethng is wrong. Having driven lots of ""restored"" Model A's I am constantly surprised by what other owners accept as normal for a Model A - Sloppy steering boxes ,worn out suspension , badly adjusted brakes and faulty wheel allignment are just attributed to this being a vintage car !
