I actually took my first ride ever in a model A about a month ago. We were going down a main hi-way at about 50 mph and I asked the guy what was causing such a vibration. He pushed the clutch in and let off the accelerator and it stopped, blew me away. I never knew these engines had that kind of vibration.

Very interesting thread.
