Re: Max Speed of a Model A in Stock Form
For those of you that are skeptical of what speed a stock Model A will do or has done in the past. Read the attached article about the Phoenix Flyer from the March/April 1965 issue of the MARC News. This record run was apparently made in 1932 when most if not all of the route was unpaved.
NOTE: This is just one of the many interesting stories that can be found on the MARC News first twelve years 1953 - 1965 CD. If interested see my ad on the Swap Meet page.
How fast the Model A will go is really not important, but how well it will stop is most important. I stay away from the Interstate Highways and typically run 55-60 wherever possible.
