It took me one fifteen minute ride in a friend’s Model A Roadster to be convinced how nice and practical a Mitchell OD was in a Model A. To me, it is basically like a 4th gear. I also live in S. California, and I use mine all the time, not just on freeways. Even on fast moving surface streets, I shift in OD anytime I hit 40-45 mph....it’s that easy, and I really enjoy how quiet and smooth the Model A is in OD at 45-50 mph.
