Model A Club | MotorWeek Over the Edge

[@manthony225]

I appreciate this group keeping these amazing cars preserved.

[@michaelhungate7506]

Me too. Keep them original as possible, maintain them and drive!.

[@gonzalogochicoa6815]

Amén Mr.

[@atcjoe1600]

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

[@rupe53]

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!

[@leechburglights]

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.

The best segment I've seen on MotorWeek in decades.

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

[@fernandorocha8459]

I love this events of classic cars

[@jackfishcampbell6745]

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

[@lonnieosbourne818]

could not read the slip

[@jackfishcampbell6745]

@@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]

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

[@ranchero50]

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]

@@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 .

[@gregwddriver]

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

[@leechburglights]

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

[@michaelhungate7506]

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!

[@the_jarmel]

HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE ✌️

[@charlie_nolan]

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]

❤️❤️ LOVE YOUR PRODUCTIONS 👏❤️

[@vr4787]

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

Faith. Tradition. History. Family. Model A.

[@imheretolearn770]

Thats right in Hagerstown? I want to try and catch their next meet.

[@KenanTurkiye]

The older I get in age the more I get to like much older cars, what's going on? lol Them A's aint looking bad! :))

[@KenanTurkiye]

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.

[@jsz2619]

One day gold paint will be your favorite.

[@KenanTurkiye]

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

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Same here.

[@A_Bit_of_Thought]

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.

[@thegooddoctor6719]

Are any of these vehicles 1980 Model A remakes that are on top of a Ford Pinto Chassis ?

[@toronado455]

I doubt it. That's the Shay. I think those are cool too, but I suspect these owners are only interested in the original.

[@johnkiehl3520]

One member of the drove a red Shay roadster but it does not appear in the video

[@toronado455]

[@piercehawke8021]

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

[@johnkiehl3520]

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

[@DQSpider]

I wouldn't have painted Rick Rubin as a Model A enthusiast but here we are

[@dougsather2939]

Where in West Virginia are you? 😇🙏

I bet the 0-top speed time is still faster than the Chevy Chevette. :)

Wasn’t Henry ford very antisemitic? Didn’t he receive an award from the nazis in the 30s and didn’t he make equipment for the nazis in wwii?
