I can't imagine driving that thing.
I had a 1935 Silver King. It would get up to 45 mph. With no suspension it jumped around on the road like a big toad. If you hit a bump right it would get into a side to side roll and bounce off of the right tires onto the lefts and back. Now and then it would start rocking end to end. The best part was the brakes were operated by hand. To slow down from 45 mph you had to take both hands off the wheel and pull on each handbrake - equally to keep going straight, give it a little more left brake if it was drifting right, etc. I don't know how I survived.
