Maybe but I've done 25000 miles in my current Model A and 12000 in my previous Model A and on long trips I cruise at 50 -55 mph for hours on end. Both stock apart from 5.5 Head on the latest. No overdrive I've has an ignition switch go bad on one trip and an ammeter on another Am fussy about regular
servicing Oil changed every 500 miles and every thing oiled and greased at correct intervals -No problems yet ! . My take is that they were good for 50-60 mph when new. Provided they are restored properly they should perform as new or better given the better gas and oils of today - However the key is correct restoration which is unusual -Karl
