Just out of curiosity, do any of the OD equiped cars tend to loose speed pulling a long hill at say 50 to 60 mph???
My 1947 Super Clipper could climb the long grade out of Duluth Minnesota on I 35 in overdrive and hold 60MPH right to the top in overdrive. I never had to kick down in 3rd on any grade that I encountered in my travels during my ownership of that great old Packard. I don't live in the Rockies but we do have some fairly serious hills.
