My Town Sedan runs 175-180° F. I'm running a basically stock engine, 5.5 head 160° thermostat, 50/50 Anti-frezze.

It's true an engine may run a little warmer with anti-freeze but anti-freeze also raises the boiling point of the coolant to ~224° F. IMO people try to run Model As too cold and undesirable by-products from combustion collect in the crankcase/oil (water, unburned H/C and acids).
