Model A's in the Mountains

[montanafordman]

I've driven mine on some fairly steep grades, and like many have said hills are no problem, speed and traffic are the issues because you cant pull a steeper grade in 3rd without lugging it, and 2nd is pretty low so your RPMs are screaming if you want to keep up - this is where an overdrive really shines being able to split the gap between 2nd and 3rd. I almost equate this as much as an asset as being able to go a few mph's faster in 3rd on more level ground.
