i have driven one of these, keep focus on the 174nm torque at 1000rpm and 1023kg, so at any hit of the throttle at low speed it is either always in the peak of the torque curve or the peak of the power curve, which means it is always out powering the tyres(tires)/chassis/steering of the era, it felt like it was capable of doing a burnout

It's pretty fast car in it's era. No wonder why every mafia always use it as getaway car. (about speed it should be 65 mph not 70 mph sorry about that)

4,849,340, nearly one third of the number of Model-Ts. Strangely I've never heard of this one.

70 mph and 40+ hp for late 20s mainstream car is quite a lot. Or is it a mainstream car? How many were produeced?

If you search in www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z7025/Ford-Model-A.aspx you will found this car has speed at 120 mph and that always make me laugh. (Where they got speed like that?)
