I agree with Brent. If the model A is in like new condition or even real good condition it could be driven 60-65 MPH for extended periods . This certainly doesn't mean that a person should ALWAYS try to average these high speeds or drive the model A that fast at all . the point is that the model A could do it !!! Does anybody remember the advertisements on TV that the early small block Ford engines were testes at 100.000 miles at 100 miles per hour . This was just a test to show their durability, not to say that they should be driven at such speeds .
