Tom McCahill of "Mechanics Illustrated" liked 'em. Here's what he said :
“When it comes to breaking fast from a traffic light or snap passing on the highway, the Six can make the V-8 look as loggy as your Aunt Tillie after a hard day’s shopping in Macy’s bargain basement,” wrote Tom. Regarding mid-range performance, he said: “The Ford Six can tear the ears of the V-8 in acceleration and performance, right up to 75 mph.” But “Above 82 or 83 mph, the Ford six flattens out like a Chinese pancake… it finally lays down and dies at about 91 or 92 mph tops.” The Ford Six proved to be economical, too, by winning its class in the Grand Canyon economy run.
He sure had a way with words.
