Pat Goss, who appears on PBS Motor Week, lives near me and had a weekly call in show on the radio here that I listened to regularly. While he typically dealt with modern cars, he swears by synthetics and says that they provide more protection in stress situations and do not break down like regular petroleum oils do. He essentially said the same thing that SAJ wrote above and he made a good argument I use Mobil 1 in my modern vehicles with excellent results and both of my Model As. Maybe overkill, but engine rebuilds are expensive and good oil cheap insurance. I usually get my Mobil 1 at Costco, which saves a bit.
