A good friend of mine restores and shows Model A's. I went for a drive with him a couple of weeks ago in one of his cars. It's all stock except for a high compression head, overdrive, and banded brake drums. It cruises at 60 mph very comfortably, and the brakes work great with the bands that keep them from expanding when they get hot. I was amazed at how easily it cruised on the freeway - I thought they were slow rattle traps - I was completely wrong.
