My first car was a 1930 Model A. It would certainly pull the F150 as far as it needed to go. But it held 10 gallons of gas so I’d have to carry a jerry can in the truck. It got 18 mpg which has yet to be improved on by much of anything. After I back-fit it with a ‘52 Merc flat head it might pull the F150 and one of his friends. The Model A pretty much defined what a modern car is. Everything newer is just gingerbread. And I could get in it with a hat on.

Yep... the model T and A both got good mileage.
