Default Re: 1931 model A performance

I have several photos my friend gave me of his grandfathers coupe he dilivered Mail with. He is axle deep in many of them with a shovel sticking in the muck in front of the car. I found one photo of the Blue Ridge Parkway being constructed in 1936 and just over the hill my dad (now passed) was two years old in the shack he grew up in. You can clearly see what is the main road through that area now. I would describe it as a decent logging road. Very very little 60 mph stuff happening in this area back then. But it wouldn't be long until moonshine needed to get moved pretty fast.
