Re: pic: Ian Curtis (1778)
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. |

Nice truck. This is my gues for the Kingsford portion.
I personally am more partial to the look of the 30s and 40s vintage trucks, but that is a real beauty. |

Welcome to the club!
Don't let anyone give you guff about the mechanical brakes. Properly adjusted they'll lock up just as well as hydraulics. |

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! |

Just like the range of speeds on a modern car, way faster than you can actually go! |

Re: pic: Ian Curtis (1778)
This past weekend we went on our longest trip so far, from Snohomish to Anacortes (130 miles round trip!) to attend the Anacortes Antique Engine & Tractor meet. Went with the local club, so we had 6 Model As of various styles cruising up through the back roads of Skagit county. Sure was pretty... Fuel mileage was a little north of 20 mpg, which is not that much worse than my 2L 2012 Impreza...
