Looking at this from a different perspective, there are 8,760 hours in a year. If you drove less than 8,760 miles last season, then you averaged less than one MPH for the year.

Thumbs up Re: What is your average speed

Purdy Swoft,

Yeah Man, I really like the Pertronix coil on the '29! I also have one on the '31 roadster too. Thanks for the advice on them.

I have run comfortably at 50-55 in my 29 roadster. Engine is stock except for an alternator. Longest run at that speed is only 5-6 miles though.

Anything over 45 and a whole new set of rattles and squeaks take over.

I agree with luckyal. 30-35 is good for me as I am enjoying the scenery and drive my A for the fun of waving to folks and having the ride last longer. I also grew up with antiques in a Model T and a bit of that still is with me.
