Big Three engines of 1928 and 1931. A story I have often heard from from folks who lived through the Great Depression is that a replacement fuel pump cost about $15 in the late 1930s, but one could buy a running Model "A" for that money. The Chevrolet and Plymouth had fuel pumps. Note that the horsepower monster was the Plymouth.

I raced my 1931 Model "A" Coupe against a 1932 Chevy Master Coupe on a highway from about 30 MPH up to 60 MPH and it was tie.
