Yeah I imagine it'd be insanely slow by today's standards. I have some early 50's car magazines, back then it was considered impressive if a bigass V8 propelled a car from 0-60 in under 14 seconds or so.
Those magazines are pretty entertaining. I have one with an article explaining how to bolt seatbelts into your car. One of the supposed benefits: women who buckle up will feel more connected to the car and therefore drive better. I'm dead serious. I can't imagine what would happen if a car magazine published something like that today!
