Depending on where, they were completive up until WWII in the less populated parts of the county. As you know they came out with some incredible designs and on top of that they were incredibly light weight.

I took a while for the speed merchants to develop the equipment for the A, B and V-8 models and the country was also in the middle of the depression so many people kept running and perfecting their T's.

I know of a couple of surviving cars that were still fast in the early fifties.
