Over a period of many years I have read the stories of long distance trips, sometimes one car, other times a group of cars. In most instances the breakdowns are cars with one or more modifications. The basic cars like Henry made just keep going. My own Model A's have zero modifications and when younger drove many many long trips and got home with no problem. I suggest you tear up that list, keep the car stock and if you want to do some work on it make sure you have good brakes.

A Model A that is stock is your friend, not your enemy!
