Default 39 ford convert wind blown

We have a 39 Convert sedan that gets pushed around in the wind. Not sure what the wind speed was but it did scare me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes, It was fun in town but horrible on the freeway. I eventually sold my convert sedan and convert coupe.

I guess I'm not alone. I don't get near as much blowing around in My Model A.

Depending on the side wind my late model car gets blown around. Gusty winds on freeways do that.
What tires are you running? Some bias ply tires are notorious for making handling much worse.
