Default Re: Longest trip you took in a Model A

I took my sedan in 2013 up to the Model A museum grand opening. We left Fort Worth and drove the 1,100 miles in 2 days (750 the first). It was a lot of hard driving but the car performed flawlessly. Went up into Canada for a bit. Came back down to head to Hickery Corners from Detroit. Coming home we also made it in 2 days I believe. The whole trip was about 3,200 miles if I remember correctly. The only issue was the muffler clamp broke on the way up, and the alternator mount broke on the way home. Both had us on our way in less than an hour.

3,200 miles in 8 days. Like others, it was a fresh rebuild. Had about 700 miles on it when I left home. I've driven that engine at least another 20,000 since that time. But that was my longest trip.
