@Bob1957 – What is the comfortable top speed? ...
Thanks for your interest and question. An original, stock 1929 Ford Model A speedster had a top speed of about 65 mph. This was considered impressive at the time and was double the horsepower of its predecessor, the Model T. However, the "speedster" designation for these classic cars can also refer to custom-built or heavily modified vehicles, with top speeds that vary dramatically based on the specific modifications. Top speed factors The stock 1929 Ford Model A speedster achieved its top speed of around 65 mph thanks to the following features: Engine: A 201-cubic-inch, four-cylinder engine produced 40 horsepower. Transmission: A conventional, unsynchronized three-speed manual transmission. Body style: Lighter body styles, such as roadsters and speedsters, were faster than heavier models like sedans and trucks. Limitations for sustained speeds While the car could reach 65 mph, owners often advise against sustained high speeds for long periods. The original babbitt-bearing engines were not designed for modern cruising speeds and could suffer damage if pushed too hard. Most owners recommend a comfortable cruising speed of 45–50 mph for a stock Model A.
