Re: Driving Speed
Mr Texas raises a great point, one that I usually bring-up on this subject.
In 1928-31, there weren't many roads in this country that would let you run at 50-60 MPH for any great distance.... perhaps for sprints of a couple miles...
The Pennsylvania Turnpike from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh is generally regarded as one of the first "modern" high-speed highways in America... it opened in 1940.
On good (paved) roads, I usually run about 50-55 MPH max with my stock, unrestored 86,000+ mile '28 Special Coupe, or the posted speed limit, which ever is less.
