Whenever I see these speed questions I always am looking at the other end of the equation: what about stopping ? With really great mechanical brakes I've heard you can lock up call four wheels. Is that the norm for all Model A's ? I am much more concerned with escaping an accident with a child on a bike or an animal that runs out on the road. If 55 is your song why not use your daily driver ? 35 to 40 gives you a chance to enjoy the scenery, wave at the folks who wave to you and be safe.
