Well, so I understand, back then individual states could or would tax licensing by differing qualifying values. Weight, tire number and size, horsepower, (SAE, net, taxable,) and other cagey methods to generate more revenue. These states would sometimes require placarding on the vehicle stating what their ratings were.
Actually, 78 horsepower seems right for a PW!!
