* Average passenger cars: Most everyday cars of the era had a top speed in the range of 60-70 mph (97-113 km/h). This was often a governed speed, meaning the engine was designed to not go much faster for safety and longevity.
* High-performance cars: Higher-end or sports cars could achieve speeds closer to 80-100 mph (130-160 km/h), though these were less common.
* Luxury cars: Some luxury cars might have been capable of slightly higher speeds than average passenger cars, but top speed wasn't always the primary focus for this segment.
It's important to remember that these speeds were often theoretical maximums under ideal conditions. Road conditions, vehicle maintenance, and driver skill would all have impacted the actual speeds attained on a regular basis.
