1917 GMC top speed - 06/28/21 04:35 PM
. I drove my 1938 Canopy around 40 miles to a truck show yesterday. It took me about an hour due to traffic. A 1917 GMC parked next to me with a functioning Calliope on back. He drove around 14 miles. It took him a little over an hour to get there. While admiring his ride I glanced at the top speed posted on his ID plate. "Twelve MPH. Over speeding will void warranty." I realize how cushy 20 years of progress made. Think of this when trailering your 1990 truck to a show cuz it's "old".
