Flat fender Power Wagons fit in the speed niche of the WW2 jeep, 3/4 ton WC dodge, WW2 CCKW Jimmys. They can go 50/55 mph but they are happy at 40/45mph,my Jimmy loves 40mph,humms right along. Example,If you drive a WW2 jeep at 55mph all the time, you should expect a 30% decline in engine life.Remember in the 1940s convoy speeds were about 35 mph. Also the world wasn't in such a damn hurry.
