With everything in tip top shape I imagine in stock form you can probably cruise at 55 or so. The model t is interesting technically and built so simply it could be repaired with what tools an average farmer had available back then.

The model a is a lovely car to look at and built with all the basic elements still common today, a dry clutch, a transmission in its own case and rear wheels driven.
