When you think of the Ford Model A, chances are you imagine one sitting in a museum or slowly putzing down a dusty road, well our “Over the Edge” guy Greg Carloss met up with a local car club that may change the way you think of these pieces of automotive history.

I appreciate this group keeping these amazing cars preserved.

Cool old cars. It’s nice to see them driving and using them.

I have to say there's actually something rather calming about driving an older vehicle on a back road during nice weather, especially if you are not being pushed by others rushing around. The typical 20s / 30s car was designed to be at home around 25-30 mph... and that's where the throttle and brakes work best as well!

Great episode! I bought a new-to-me home this fall and getting things done before moving in. Planning to add a new garage on too. Then, hopefully, I'll have a space to tinker and keep a Model A.

kid: grandma, can i race you with my segway?

@gregwddriver Год назад

Driving these cars instead of a climate controlled viewing room? Fantastic!

Not a computer in sight. If there's ever an EMP bomb dropped, this car will still run.

@michaelhungate7506 Год назад

Right. Maintain the Hell out of them and drive them. It's nice to preserve them but it's kind of like having a trophy, nice but not very useful. Drive them, they can handle it!

@KenanTurkiye Год назад

Yup watched the whole vid, they're all beautifull. But looks like my fav is the one at 1:58 , love the green body and pastel yellow wheels.

One day gold paint will be your favorite.

@@jsz2619 I loved that message! :))) Have a great day.

@isaacsrandomvideos667 Год назад

Same here.

@A_Bit_of_Thought Год назад

With the older vehicles the driver is more in control. With your typical modern car, the driver just points the car in the desired direction and the car does the rest.

@charlie_nolan Год назад

Drag racing a Model A sounds super fun. You don’t get to super high speeds, and you can feel every little movement in the engine and road. Also it’s hilarious

@the_jarmel Год назад

HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE ✌️

Faith. Tradition. History. Family. Model A.

Oh no, prohibition gangsters and bootleggers are back! Love it! 👏

@piercehawke8021 Год назад

That's beyond cool; people daily driving their A's. The one big nit I have against those rides were their terrible brakes.

@johnkiehl3520 Год назад

Brakes work just as good as on a modern car if they are rebuilt and adjusted properly

@jackfishcampbell6745 Год назад

So what's the quarter stats ? Otherwise very good with beautiful cars , especially the ladie's car .

@lonnieosbourne818 Год назад

could not read the slip

@jackfishcampbell6745 Год назад

@@lonnieosbourne818 Yeah that's the problem . I checked with an online eighth quarter converter it didn't go that high , like 15 5 seconds for the eighth .

@tombryant1104 Год назад

assumin' speed topped out at 50 mph and averaged 46 mph, approx a mid 25 sec quarter.

@ranchero50 Год назад

15.5 seconds, 42mph in the 1/8th so actually better than a 4 cylinder automatic '87 mustang which could barely break 60 in the quarter. The A runs out of engine RPM before the quarter mile at full throttle.

@jackfishcampbell6745 Год назад

@@tombryant1104 I'm 67 and before I was born my Dad had a 29 Model A . That would have been in the early 50's He told me that it would cruise along at around 40 to 45 mph . But if you tried to go faster it got a little shaky in the front end . He told me that he later regretted selling it .
