Interesting video, but I have no desire to go that fast in something that old.

I once got the 30 Fordor in the mid 60s, but only for a few seconds.

That was my thought as well - but after doing some digging, it looks like the only thing "Model A" about the car is the engine block; there are a few good photos of the finished vehicle here.

So it's the same as hanging a 1920 Dodge Brothers Radiator badge on the front of my brother's 71 Mach 1 Mustang then bragging about setting records in the quarter mile.
Honestly, I'm not impressed. I prefer my Model A Fords to look more like a Model A Ford.
