Yes, I hear you there. That was a figure of speech but I do have a dash plaque from the SCTA that says, 154.7.
My point was that while a stock model A body has an extremely poor drag coefficent and lots of frontal area especially with fenders on, it will handle very good at speeds over 100.
If your car wanders or shakes at 65, something is worn out or out of adjustment.
