If I remember correctly the speedometer gpes up to 60 as a limit. Why did you choose the pickup versus a roadster or a sedan (which I'm not sure why people like sedan)?
Driving a Model A really makes you appreciate the newer transmissions since they were lacking syncros and forces you to double clutch every gear change.

I got the closed cab pick-up because I wanted a pick-up, and the chance of drizzle is quite high for 75% of the year. I wanted a pickup because the guy that got me into airplanes had one, and it is a practical to move stuff around. Since my girlfriend owns a house and drives a 1 Series, this will be particularly useful. Sedans are definitely good for people with kids... truck (or a roadster w/o a MIL seat) can be crowded. Another benefit of the sedans is you can slide the seat back so a tall person can actually fit!

Nice truck. This is my gues for the Kingsford portion.

This is much more common knowledge out Michigan way than it is on the coasts! Kingsford Smith was also a famous Australian pilot.

Matt, sweet speedster. I drove a Model T speedster once... that was enough adventure for a lifetime.

James, yeah the 365 days of A is crazy. I have read the whole blog, and he's got some pretty good thoughts on modern driver complacency. Especially impressive that he drove it all winter! My above mentioned friend drives his all summer and fall, but doing it in the winter in traffic takes special courage!
