How would like to ride around in this red auto? It's a 1932 Ford Tudor.I read somewhere that the price of a Tudor in 1932 was around $ 600. Depending on where you lived in the country, you could pay more or less. Tudors averaged about 20 miles per gallon, costing about 3 cents per mile at the time. The top speed was in the neighborhood of 40 mph.
What is the fastest you've ever driven a car?

oh so cute!
Zowie!
I think I got up to 100 mph on Interstate 5 going down the central valley near Kern County or thereabouts. It's a stretch where you get passed by long haul trucks and sundry other drivers if you merely creep along at 80. But that was a long time ago. 8^)
Loving these amazing cars. I can't remember how fast I've driven. Just got lost one point on my French driving licence for going to fast in June, so I'll watch it in future! I wasn't going that fast tho - just a few kilometres over what was allowed and I've forgotten what that was!
This truly is a hot rod. Nice shot.
Love the hotrod tudor Deuce. It's worth about 100 times more today than the original cost in '32.
To answer your question, I drove a Jaguar XK-E at 140mph on I-40 between Memphis and Nashville once. Once. I was in college. It wasn't my car. I wouldn't do it again...
I have driven around 200 km/hour on the German autobahn. We were test driving a vehicle for fun. ;)
For some reason, I keep expecting ZZ Top to get out of that car singing - Sharp Dressed Man.
When we lived in Las Vegas, we lived near one of the ZZ Top members, and he owned a similar car. We would see it pull out of his exclusive, gated community from time-to-time.
Wow, I gotta wear shades just to look at this car. It's beautiful.
My vehicles tend to go from zero to sixty in five to ten minutes, after thinking about it carefully.
Hi Chris, I just had to pop in when I saw a website with your quote about well behaved women in its banner! Yes, the website for Wicked Women Choppers has the quote right at the top of the page. Check it out: Wicked Women Choppers. I think you'd enjoy reading about them.
Oh, and about 110 is tops for me so far.
Nice car! 70-75 is my top speed and that is slow for the interstate these days!
